HC Deb 02 December 1937 vol 329 c2240
57. Mr. Harvey

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education how many certificated teachers who have completed their training during the current year are still unable to find employment in public elementary schools?

Mr. Lindsay

Of the 6,920 students who left training colleges and departments in 1937, 4,686 have been notified to the Board as having been appointed to posts in public elementary schools; 588 have been notified on appointment to other recognised schools, but the Board have not yet received returns showing the number of those who have obtained posts in other schools or have not sought teaching employment.
