Commonwealth Secretariat Seminar in Technical
Education and Industry 1976
It
A meeting of a Working Party on this seminar was
attended as an observer. The seminar is being
arranged in Hong Kong in the Autumn of 1976.
will be organized on a Regional basis by the
Commonwealth Secretariat. It is expected that
there will be an attendance of about 40-50 repre-
sentatives financed by the Commonwealth Secretariat.
There was some concern about the possibility of a
lack of coordination in planning and arrangements
since responsibility would have to be shared
between the Education Department in Hong Kong
and the Commonwealth Secretariat in London.
I agreed to discuss the arrangements with Mr Collins
of the Secretariat in London.
The Seminar will provide an opportunity for an
exchange of information about needs and developments
in technical education in relation with industry.
Participation by a TETOC representative would be
very valuable and I recommend support for this if
attendance be arranged as part of a travel programme
including Hong Kong.
