§ 66. Mr. C. WILLIAMSasked the President of the Board of Education what is the estimated number of additional men and women teachers required under the schemes already submitted by the educational authorities?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANOf the programmes so far received, 104 contain particulars of the additional teachers expected to be required during the programme period. They indicate a need for 988 additional teachers in 1930–31, 1576 rising to 3,990 in 1931–32 and to 5,735 in 1932–33. The programmes do not usually give numbers of men and women separately, nor do they usually indicate how far the need for additional staff is due to normal expansion or is consequent upon the proposed raising of the school age.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether the supply of teachers is ahead of the building supply in regard to the new Bill? Which is the further forward?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANIt is impossible, in this connection, to put the two side by side.
