Bill Wallace

In my regular trawls through sources for additional nuggets of information on past GA Presidents, I come across other people who played a role in the Association, but never became President. It's a reminder of the importance of all those who volunteer their time to support the work of the Association, and have done for over 130 years! This is why being President is such a privilege.

Bill Wallace was involved with the Further Education Section of the GA. His work was in Further Education - what is now carried out by the Post-16 committee.

The piece was written by Marguerita Oughton, who wrote quite a few similar pieces at this time.

1960: A note on teacher training

A report of a discussion on teacher training was published in Geography in 1960.

I liked this section:



Given the growing number of entry points into teaching and different pathways and providers I wonder whether this would be possible today.
