Two‐tier Tertiary

ACCORDING TO A PAMPHLET produced by the Scottish Education Department, called Education in Scotland, some facts and figures, ‘The general aim (of secondary schools) throughout is to provide an education adapted at each stage to the developing needs of each boy or girl which will fit them on leaving school to pursue further education either full‐time or part‐time’. Which probably accounts for the enormous building activity in Glasgow's FE sector. Almost every FE college in the city is due for either new buildings or expansion to meet the ever‐growing number of entrants. One such college is the College of Commerce in the centre of Glasgow. The college started in new buildings in 1962 and had a new annexe opened in 1966 with 40 classrooms in it. A new college is planned for about 1970 and these existing buildings will be devoted entirely to distributive trades and hairdressing.
