Proceedings included: further education and the development of an industrial society (C. Barnett); further education and industry in the development of a better society (J. Tait); review of the main conclusions of the development conferences; the future of further education: an exercise in the Delphi method of time-scaling (D.C. Spencer); response to reports of the first conference (L. Russell); response to reports of the second conference (J.F. Mann); and a summary of results of the Delphi exercise.
