§ 79. Mr. M. MacPhersonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland to what extent Scottish senior secondary schools are at present short of fully-qualified teachers of mathematics; and what is the outlook for the coming session.
Mr. McNeilSeparate statistics for senior secondary schools are not available. There are, however, about 670 fully qualified teachers in mathematics in Scotland. Another 140 would bring staffing to a satisfactory standard. I fear that this will continue to be the position in the coming session.
