Abstract
The British Employers' Confederation describes the plan to raise the school‐leaving age to 16 in 1970–1 as a “welcome change”, and expresses the hope that the extra year of full‐time education might be spent either in a school or in a technical college. The BEC repeats its statement to the Newsom Committee to the effect that Industry expects its new entrants to have a sound knowledge of the basic subjects, rather than technical skills which could best be imparted by industry itself.
