THE INDUSTRIAL TRAINING BILL, 1963

IN THESE WORDS the Government describes the Bill's intention. Of itself, the Bill is no guarantee that provisions for industrial training will be improved. It is an enabling Bill: it creates machinery for inaugurating the industrial training boards and confers certain powers upon these boards. But about the big issues, which remain to be solved — certification, length of apprenticeship, the standard of training, selection methods and so on — it has nothing to say, simply because it is an enabling Bill.
