HC Deb 16 May 1989 vol 153 cc124-5W
Mr. Butler

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish in theOfficial Report a table showing for each local education authority (a) the number of teachers in post, (b) the number of administrative and support staff and (c) the proportion that (b) is of (a) and (b).

Mr. Butcher

The total full-time equivalent teaching staff in maintained schools and colleges in each local education authority area in January 1988 is shown in the table.

The Department does not hold centrally information on administrative and support staff employed by local education authorities. However, figures from the Joint Manpower Watch indicate that for England as a whole non-teaching staff amount to 76 per cent. of teaching staff.

The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy publication "Education Statistics 1988–89 Estimates", a copy of which is in the Library, shows breakdowns of teaching and non-teaching staff for each authority responding to its survey.
