Thought for the Day: 1985: Keith Joseph

"To my mind, teachers do no service to their pupils if they give them the impression that such problems [development in towns, areas of unemployment, pollution] are easily defined, that the processes involved are well understood so that their occurrence can be straightforwardly explained and that there are always practicable solutions available. Issues such as the ones I have mentioned are matters of legitimate dispute precisely because there are often strong disagreements about diagnoses, goals and strategies"

1985 Conference Programme

Thanks to Pat Cleverley for sending through an original copy of this document, which I scanned.

It was a single folded A4 page, a far cry from the lengthy full colour document that is produced for conferences these days. I'm hoping to find more of these when I eventually get a chance to go to the GA HQ and browse through the archives.

There are some interesting-sounding sessions.
