FUTURE FUNDING OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH

That this House notes with concern that the further concentration of research funding will leave only 18 per cent. of university education departments with core research funding; and calls on the Government to investigate further the impact that this drastic reduction of breadth and capacity will have on the quality of initial teacher training, the ability of existing teachers to access continuing professional development and the quality of research-based education policy in future.
