the fault of education authorities who say that it would be “un-economic” to issue an all-change to parents who have to pay. As for the independent schools — their argument usually has something to do with “long years of tradition." What is needed, if parents


are to be spared this annual onslaught on their budgets, and children are to be spared the hot horrors of their out­ fits, are uniforms which do double duty. Practical enough for school and attractive enough for evenings and weekends.


IDEAS HAVE CHANGED A GRE AT DEAL


The difference b e tw e e n today's generation o f school children 'V'


would seem to be that th cy no longer need books to learn. • This is the nmpression


■ you gather when you see crowds of them on their way to their seats of learning. Instead of leathery brown satchels bulging with reams of Latin grammar, they cany a variety of bags more suited to supermarkets than school.


I had a o.uick look down


one child’s bright piuk paper tote bag the other day. She


had abandoned her satchel after her first term at secon­ dary school ("much too small and awkward to open” ) and had since then used a var­ iety of hold-alls ranging from wicker baskets to a striped plastic bag from ,the local launderette.


The current tote contained


a bag full of bulbs for the classroom window box. a flip- type notebook filled, she explained, with an interview


conduchcd at the local police station the previous night during which she questioned ■two policemen about the whj’s and wherefores of their jobs and a large cake tin. . Inside this were the ingred­ ients for that day’s “house-


'eraft’’ project — brandy snaps;

" ’ School, I reflected, seemed to have changed somewhat since the days when'form 2B met early in' the playground


to swap English grammar answers for algebra equa­


tions, . The modern way of dealing


with' tliis. I am told, is to thrash out the difficulties in the classroom ;;; w i t h : the teacher/; > Sometimes they


don't touch a pen or a pencil at all—even during maths. The teacher does all the work on the blackboard and they

off to learn how to read and write some kind of plastic apron would be the most vital. Although most infants’, schools simply ; require the presence of the child, a tag with his name and address could be sewn on him some-

paying out for pencil boxes decide on a definite policy at the start of school. The cheapest way is to buy the


child a box of rubber bands to hold everything together. This is not only economic, it

It is emphasised that the


and technical colleges in the North West arc taking part in a locally-based “Further Education Infor­ mation Service” for ‘A’


level school leavers. This Service which operates


throughout August and Sep­ tember .to give ‘A’ level school leavers in search of a higher education course up-to-date information and advice- about the full-time degree and higher national diploma (H.N.D). courses offered by the Polytechnics and colleges outside the universities. The Further Education


Information Service is designed to be of special help to those school leavers who, for one reason or another,


■ find , themselves • without a place on a suitable course of higher - education: at; a late stage in the'.summer,., when time - is running out. Each week throughout August' and September every Local Advisory Officer will receive from the Department of Education and Science a national “vacancy list” show­ ing tlie vacancies remaining available . week-by-week;, in the full-time degree and H.N.D. courses offered by the some 130 Polytechnics and other colleges. .


If, after' consulting, the .


Local Advisory Officer, a student decides to seek a Polytechnic or college place, the L.A.O. will be able to. help him to apply for a suitable course' in - any part- of the. country with a minimum of delay. The L.A.O. as also able


. -to advise on 'such matters as grants,- -starting- dates/ entry, requirements and enrolment procedures.


Further Education Informa- tion Service Is not designed simply to channel school leavers into the colleges. Tho best advice in some cases may be for -the student to apply for a place in a college of education, or to apply again for a university place, or to return to school for another shot at “A” levels. At a time when many school


leavers -may be grateful for information or advice, Local Advisory Officers are in a position to give them valu­ able assistance.


New scales


New net income scales for


the remission of the charge for school meals are announ­ ced by the Department of Education and Science this month. Tlie new scales which are higher at all points than the previous one s, take account of tlie improved supplementary benefit scales. These are usually revised each autumn and this year they will come into operation on November 3.


sion scales for school meals are that a family with two children, whose net weckl,. income is less than £12-4s. will be entitled to free school meals for both children, anil a family with six children,


Examples of the new remis­


- whose net weekly income is less than £20, will bo entitled to free school meals for all the children.
