| AdminHistory | The Conference of Heads of University Departments of Education (CHUDE) was established in 195[9] and was made up of the Heads and Acting Heads of Departments in Education in universities and university colleges in England and Wales. It aimed to meet at least twice each academic year. CHUDE's main functions were to discuss general policy concerning the training of graduate teachers and common matters across the departments of education; and supervise the operation of schemes concerning the registration and admission of students to courses. It liaised with other bodies including the Conference of Institute Directors and the Association of Teachers in Colleges and Departments of Education, and responded to enquiries from the Ministry of Education (later the Department of Education and Science - DES).
The committee of CHUDE comprised the Chair (Professor A V Judges of University of London, King's College); the Secretary (Professor Tibble of the School of Education at the University of Leicester), and five officers.
In 1967 the Conference merged with the Conference of Institute Directors to form the Universities' Council for the Education of Teachers (UCET). |
