Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Dearing (Crossbench). It was answered on Thursday, 1 May 2008.
Prisons: Education and Training
- Question
- My Lords, the Minister used the word ““reform”” and spoke of the fact that a group of Ministers is taking personal responsibility for these matters. In view of the importance of the issue, can she say whether prison governors are personally accountable for pre-set targets for achievement in this area and for the quality of the work that takes place?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I come back to the importance of educational outcome, responsibility for which must rest with the education providers. However, responsibility for ensuring that offenders attend classroom and educational activities is very much with the prison governors, who have targets for achieving results in this area.
