§ 75. Dr. Kingasked the Minister of Education the number of extra teachers provided year by year since 1945.
§ Sir D. EcclesThe net increase in the number of teachers in maintained schools has been as follows:
97W
1946 11,100 1947 8,600 1948 7,100 1949 5,800 1950 6,800 1951 5,900 1952 5,700 1953 6,100 1954 7,600 1955 6,400 1956 7,000 1957 4,400 1958 5,600 1959 5,500 (estimated)
§ 76. Dr. Kingasked the Minister of Education if he will now state for each year from 1960 to 1970 the estimated number of extra teachers which will be provided if the present expansion of training college places from 23,000 to 39,000 is completed by 1964.
§ Sir D. EcclesThe net increase or decrease in the numbers of teachers in maintained schools during the next decade is difficult to estimate with accuracy. The best forecasts I can give are:
1960 + 6,000 1961 + 6,000 1962 - 4,000 1963 + 6,000 1964 + 7,000 1965 + 7,000 1966 + 7,000 1967 +10,600 1968 + 7,000 1969 + 7,000
