§ Mr. Allaunasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the number of temporary teachers and what is their proportion to other teachers in Salford schools; what is the annual turnover of teachers in Salford schools; and how these rates compare with the national average.
§ Mr. ChatawayOf 984 full-time teachers in Salford primary and secondary schools, in February, 1964, 97 (9.9 per cent) were temporary and 10 (1.0 per cent.) occasional teachers. The corresponding percentages for England and Wales were 1.5 per cent. and 0.7 per cent. The annual wastage of qualified full-time teachers in maintained primary and secondary schools442W in Salford has, in the three-year period 1961–64 been an average of 13 per cent. for men and 22 per cent. for women teachers. There are no figures available to show what the average has been for the other 145 local education authorities in England and Wales. The national average wastage figures for the last three-year period, for which calculations have been completed, 1959–62 (4 per cent. for men and 10 per cent. for women teachers), do not afford a fair comparison as they exclude the considerable movement of teachers between individual authorities.
§ Mr. Allaunasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many teachers would be required to reduce Salford school classes to their proper size.
§ Mr. ChatawaySeventy-nine in primary and 130 in secondary schools.
