"This is partly due to the fact that there are so few places
available in relation to the general demand for education at this
level," Mr. Kingwell såið.
Technical education was comparatively expensive and prevocational
schools were no exception, he said.
"So, any f rther expension must be geared to public demand.
"If the public require more of this type of school, they must
make their wishes known," the Deputy Director said.
He stressed that pre-ocational education was general education
primarily intended for those students who wished to find employment
after three years of post-primary education. It was not terminal
education.
The apprentice would be able to continue his technical
education in part-time classes at technical institutes.
As a result of the Apprenticeship Ordinance this was now
a requirement by law.
