HE ORGANISATION of 'sachets of Transport Studies 'old its annual conference eerier this month, and listened to iccounts of the teaching of ransport in other EEC :ountries, especially West Gernany and the Republic of Ireand.
As a result, they are to expand heir contracts with colleagues n the EEC — and in other :ountries too — with a view to mriching their own teaching )rogrammes and widening the lorizons of their students.
Another spin-off from the con'erence was the idea of bringing :ransport studies into the mainWean of academic teaching in Jusiness and management ;tudies and administration.
As one member put it: "There are many people in the management of business and public corporations who have to take decisions about transport without adequate insight into its problems — we should not restrict ourselves to teaching the transport specialists."
The OTTS met at the North Worcestershire College at Bromsgrove for the last time — the residential quarters that they have used for some years now are to be sold.
Immediate steps are being taken to find a new home for the conference, which attracted 38 lecturers from all parts of Britain.
