| Footage description: | The programme opens with David Moore, Principle of Nelson and Colne College, explaining in interview his commitment to a degree of autonomy. Shots of the College, over which Gerald Normie indicates Moore's position. The programme observes a meeting of Moore with his Heads of Department. They discuss the possibility of obtaining extra staff from other colleges in the area. Moore discusses the relationship between the College staff and the Students' Union with the President of the latter, Martina Tierney. David Moore discusses the management of a local firm with Fred Bate, the company's managing director. Moore acts as management consultant to the company. Shots of Gawthorpe Hall, where Nelson and Colne College liaise with other educational bodies in the region. A working lunch with representatives of Lancaster University, West Cumbria College and local authority personnel is observed. Moore discusses with Charles Carter, vice-chancellor of Lancaster University and Eric Apperley, Principal of West Cumbria College, the idea of setting up a regional body to consider all aspects of post-compulsory education. Gerry Fowler, Minister of State for Education, visits Moore at Nelson and Colne College. The two men discuss both the place of Colleges of Education in the national educational scene, and the degree of autonomy which is both practical and ideal in such a college. |
