§ 35. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the President of the Board of Education what assistance is given to teachers leaving training colleges to obtain posts?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Lord Eustace Percy)The local authorities are generally in close touch with the training colleges, with whom they communicate either by 1490 travelling boards of appointment, or otherwise, with a view to securing teachers from among the outgoing students.
§ 36. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the President of the Board of Education whether he has any information as to the conditions of unemployment among teachers; and whether any precautions are taken to balance supply and demand?
§ Lord E. PERCYI am sending my hon. Friend a copy of Administrative Memorandum No. 60 circulated to local education and training college authorities last year, giving statistics on this point. I realise the importance of preventing violent oscillations in supply and demand, but the statistics seem to show that the percentage of unemployment among teachers 18 months after they have left college is small and does not vary greatly from year to year.
