In 1977 when the Long Term Working Party reported to Initial Courses
(Jones
1981 p.10) it recommended the establishment of alternative routes
through the PGCE but it was a much more specific and limited proposal that
was
accepted.
That a group based on the framework set out in the
Report of the Long Term Working Party be set up for
1978/79 for an experimental period of 3 years.
(Jones,1981 p.12)
At this point the University became influential since the proposal accepted
within the Institute involved a change in the pattern of assessment which
had to be approved by the University.
The proposal was discussed by the
Subject Committee in Education at their meeting on 3 November, 1977.
