§ Mr. WillisTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what plans she has to identify teacher shortages in schools for the beginning of the next academic year. [64553]
§ Mr. Miliband[holding answer 26 June 2002]The Department for Education and Skills (DfES) is in regular contact with Local Education Authorities, notably Recruitment Strategy Managers, to share information regarding any teacher shortages.
§ Mr. WillisTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will identify by(a) geographical area and (b) subject specialisation, where there is difficulty recruiting and/or retaining teachers. [64554]
§ Mr. Miliband[holding answer 26 June 2002]There were 9,400 full-time equivalent more regular teachers in schools in January 2002 (provisional) than a year before. The following Table 9 shows the latest provisional teacher vacancy rates by Government office region, which reflect turnover between schools as well as indicating schools' requirements for new teachers. The table was published in SFR 05/2002 on 24 April.
The following Table 10, also from SFR 05/2002, shows vacancy rates by subject for classroom teachers in maintained secondary schools.
Individual schools may find recruitment and retention easier or more difficult in particular subjects depending on their particular circumstances, including geographical location, but such information is not collected centrally.
