HC Deb 16 March 1961 vol 636 c146W
76. Mr. Peart

asked the Minister of Education what proposals he has for a significant increase in the supply of science and mathematics teachers during the next ten years.

Sir D. Eccles

The expansion of the universities and colleges of technology should provide more teachers and in the training college expansion programme special emphasis has been laid on the need to increase the output of well qualified science and mathematics teachers. The present campaign to attract more qualified married women teachers back into the schools is designed to draw attention to the present shortage of teachers of these subjects.
