§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Education what proportion of the 9,000 new teachers recruited since 1938 for the National Schools included unqualified teachers.
167W
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe figure of 9,000 represents the approximate difference between the total number of teachers employed in the schools at two dates nine years apart. The number of new teachers recruited between these dates is very much larger. As I said in my answer to the hon. Member on 17th June, 1948, particulars of the present composition of the teaching force are not yet available.
