HC Deb 11 March 1910 vol 14 cc1875-6W
Mr. ARMITAGE

asked the Lord Advocate if he will state what percentage of teachers employed in public elementary Schools in Scotland during the last school year were certificated and college-trained, and what percentage were certificated without being college-trained?

Mr. URE

The percentage of teachers employed in schools in receipt of annual grants in Scotland during the inspection year ended 31st August, 1909, who were certificated and trained was 57.9; the percentage of teachers certificated but un- trained was 30.74. The remaining 11.36 per cent. represents the uncertificated proportion.
