"THE PROPOSED DESIGN OF THIS PROCEDURE HAS BEEN BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT ALL PUBLIC-SECTOR SCHOOLS WHICH OPERATE SIXTH-FORM CLASSES SHOULD ADMIT AS MANY AS POSSIBLE OF THEIR OWN STUDENTS WHO SATISFY THE MINIMUM ENTRY REQUIREMENTS FOR A-LEVELS AND TAKE IN STUDENTS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS ONLY IF THERE ARE STILL VACANCIES TO BR FILLED, MR WINFIELD SAID.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS THE SUGGESTION THAT SCHOOLS SHOULD CO-OPERATE IN OFFERING A WIDER RANGE OF SUBJECT COMBINATIONS TO THEIR SIXTH-FORM STUDENTS," HE SAID.
HE SAID THERE WAS SCOPE FOR THE SENSIBLE SHARING OF SCARCE RESOURCES TO INCREASE THE CHOICES OPEN TO STUDENTS AND THAT SCHOOLS COULD BE GROUPED IN TWOS AND THREES, EITHER BY DISTRICT OR BY SPONSORING BODY, ALL OFFERING SOME COMMON SUBJECTS BUT BACH SPECIALISING IN OTHERS.
BY SHARING THEIR SIXTH-FORM STUDENTS, HB SAID, GROUPS OF PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS SHOULD BE ABLE TO OFFER A MUCH RICHER MIX OF SUBJECTS THAN THEY WOULD IF THEY CONTINUED TO OPERATE IN ISOLATION.
"THIS WOULD HAVE THE ADDED ADVANTAGE THAT SUBJECTS FOR WHICH ACCOMMODATION OR THE HIGH COST OF EQUIPMENT MIGHT PRESENT DIFFICULTIES IN TIMES OF SEVERE BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS COULD THUS BB INTRODUCED IN ONE SCHOOL IN THE GROUP RATHER THAN IN ALL.
