HC Deb 21 June 1956 vol 554 c1628
44. Mr. Pitman

asked the Minister of Education how many full-time teachers were recruited to the staffs of institutions of further education during the year ending March, 1955, and of those what percentage were teachers trained in the three technical teacher training colleges.

Sir D. Eccles

Nearly 1,000 full-time teachers were recruited to the staffs of institutions of further education during the year ending March, 1955. I cannot say how many of these were trained in the technical teacher training colleges, but about 165 teachers from these colleges have taken their first posts in further education establishments in each of the last few years.
