The new centres are not to be classed ss second rate universities, said Mr. Davis, as they will play a major role in the economy of the country, "They will reflect the character of the area in which they are situated, and pill give a variety of courses, both day and eve- ning, for young people and adults," The education minister told the 400 delegates that enrol ment in secondary schools has more than doubled in the last 20 years and it can be e to double again in the next two decades, He said that the majority of high school graduates in the future will not go on to univer sity -- making ft necessary to create new types of schools like the institutes of applied arts and technology.
