MPs' wish-list for '99 agenda
Article Abstract:
Three inquiries are set to take place by the UK House of Commons education sub-committee in 1999, comprising public-private partnerships, early years education and the role of school governors. Some committee members also hope to add other inquiries to the schedule, time permitting. Liberal Democrat education spokesman Don Foster believes priority should be given to the ongoing Access for All inquiry into further education for those aged over 16, while Labour Member of Parliament and sub-committee Chairman Malcolm Wicks believes this inquiry should concentrate on the disadvantaged.
