CERTIFICATED TEACHERS (UNEMPLOYMENT).

HC Deb 16 April 1923 vol 162 cc1707-8W

Mr. FOOT

asked the President of the Board of Education the approximate number of certificated teachers in England and Wales who are at present unemployed?

Lord E. PERCY

I regret I do not possess the information asked for by the hon. Member. The only figure available is that showing the number of students who left the training colleges in the summer of 1922, and who were known in February last to have failed to obtain posts, namely, 627.
