Abstract

The Department of Education and Science, with a nice sense of timing two weeks before the ATTI conference, has published yet another statement of contempt for the technical colleges and all who dwell therein. This is administrative memorandum 13/70 introducing the fourth ‘Pilkington’ report on the more effective use of technical college resources. Notwithstanding the fact that technical college buildings are more intensively used than any other educational buildings, that the further education sector has been the most savaged by the recent financial cuts and that the authorities refuse seriously to consider a national agreement on conditions of service for technical college teachers, you are urged, nay instructed, my technical college colleagues, to extend the college year.
