HC Deb 06 May 1964 vol 694 c163W
57. Mrs. Hart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many senior secondary schools, junior secondary schools and comprehensive schools, giving figures for boys, girls, and coeducational schools, respectively, had specialist science teachers; how many had none; and how many schools in each category had teachers specialising in subjects other than botany or biology, at the latest convenient date.

Mr. Noble

In October, 1963, there were 793 specialist teachers of science (Chapter V) in the 381 schools providing courses leading to the Scottish Certificate of Education and 247 such teachers in the 363 secondary schools not providing such courses. I regret that the other information sought is not available.
