§ Mr. McNamaraasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will draw to the attention of the Manpower Services Commission, when considering job creation problems and programmes, the potential existing at present among unemployed teachers; and whether he will publish in the Official Report any existing schemes of the job creation programme which are tapping this source of trained leadership.
§ Mr. GoldingI am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that unemployed teachers may apply for any vacancy created by the Job Creation Programme, and many projects provide jobs 273W suited to their training and experience. Information on the number of projects which include teachers is not readily available, but several projects specifically designed to employ newly qualified teachers have recently been approved.
