THE Scottish Co-operative Transport Association is gravely concerned about education and training in transport departments, having in mind the need to prepare and equip for future responsibility, states the secretary of the Scottish section of the Co-operative Union.
The number of transport department staffs undertaking study to gain the R.S.A. diploma in road transport subjects has so significantly declined that the total in Scotland for this session is less than 10.
The Association believes that a new effort must be made to encourage men— particularly younger men—to study, and there should be some immediate and tangible recognition of achievements gained. In this belief the executive committee has the wholehearted support of the trade unions involved.
The following awards will be made by the Association as a recognition of successful training: To candidates in R.S.A. examinations in road transport subjects: Four passes (two being first-class)—£5 5s. Diploma (seven subjects) — 17 7s. Diploma (including four first-class passes)— £10 10s.
Diploma holders will be invited, in the session following completion of the diploma course, to apply for consideration for a scholarship for the Co-operative Union's course on supervision in the transport department held at Stanford Hall.
Other recommendations are made to societies to reward successful students by monetary payments, by accelerating wage increases for persons under 21, and by giving special duties and responsibilities to students over 21.

The Certificate in Transport Studies forms the main part of this provision, providing a progressive and prescribed course spread over three years and involving attendance on only one night a week. The course is concerned with transport problems as a whole rather than with a detailed study of a particular type of transport.
Subjects in the approved scheme of study for the certificate arc: Course I: Transport Economics. Course 2: Transport and Economic Geography in Great Britain.
Course 3 (third Year): Studies in Contemporary Transport. Problems.
