Abstract

The acceptance of the educational reforms advocated by Crowther, Robbins, Newsom and now Henniker-Heaton require a massive increase in the school and college building programme. The Henniker-Heaton report requires an expenditure of £60 million for buildings and equipment, if its admittedly modest target of an additional 250,000 with day release is to be achieved by 1970. Whilst it remains doubtful if anyone really believes such expenditure is possible, or even practicable by 1970, the clamour for more college accommodation continues, and the failure to provide it will be set alongside the shortage of teachers as reasons for our failure to improve our educational services in general, and our day release arrangements in particular.
