HC Deb 23 May 1946 vol 423 c101W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Education what proportion of teachers in the secondary schools, before the passage of the Education Act, 1944, were university graduates; and what is the proportion since 1st April, 1945, up to date, of graduate teachers in the schools now classified as secondary.

Miss Wilkinson

The latest available figures relate to 1938, when rather under 80 per cent. of the teachers in grant-aided secondary grammar schools were graduates. Figures showing the present position in all types of secondary schools will be available in a few months.
