Margaret Thatcher, Secretary of State for Education and Science, 1970-75

In 1971, she appointed a Committee of Inquiry into Teacher Education and Training chaired by Lord James of Rusholme who reported late in 1971; the Committee's suggestions (The James Report) led to many changes in teacher education and characterised the field for the next decade.
