AdminHistory | In September 1993 the UCET and PCET (Polytechnics Council for the Education of Teachers) merged to become a new, enlarged Universitites Council for the Education of Teachers (UCET) with all institutions fully and equally represented. Membership was made up of about 61 universities. At this point a new standing committee structure was introduced: Initial Teacher Education (Primary) Committee and Initial Teacher Education (Secondary) Committee which dealt with all matters of intital teacher training, including responsibility for the Graduate Teacher Training Registry Continuing Professional Development Committee which dealt with all matters concerning inservice courses for teachers (both award bearing and non-award bearing) Post-16 Committee which dealt with all matters in post-16 education, including further education, adult education and continuing education. Research and Development Committee which dealt with all matters of research and development in the field of education but with specific reference to research on teacher education, and liaision with other bodies concerned with research in education including funding bodies International Co-ordinating Committee which provided expert guidance on working with international organisations such as the British Council, the European Commission, recruitment of overseas students and inter-university co-operation. It co-ordinated its work with the other standing committees Management Forum which considered all other issues that were not likely to appear on the agendas of the other standing committees.
All standing committees were responsible to the Executive Committee and Chairs were members of the Executive Committee.
UCET also had a Initial Teacher Education Committee which met during 1992 and 1993. Papers are catalogued at UCE/C/18/15 |
