HC Deb 31 January 1963 vol 670 c227W
Sir C. Osborne

asked the Minister of Education how many women teachers in recent years have left the profession after three, five and 10 years' work, respectively.

Sir E. Boyle

Exact information is not available in the form asked for. An estimate can, however, be made from the figures of wastage for 1960–61 given in Table 40 of Statistics of Education, 1961, Part I, that, of every 100 qualified women teachers aged 21 in service on a given date, about 32, 55 and 88 would have left service within 3, 5 and 10 years, respectively.
