History
The Universities Council for the Education of Teachers (UCET) was created in 1966-1967 by the merger of the Conference of Heads of University Departments of Education (CHUDE) and the Conference of Institute Directors (CID). CHUDE had been founded in 1959 as a forum for the heads of university education departments in England and Wales whilst CID, founded in 1957, acted similarly for the directors of institutes of education. The Council 's objects are to provide a forum for discussion, make a contribution to policy and act as a clearing house for information on all matters relating to the education of teachers of relevance to its members.
