HC Deb 24 February 1967 vol 741 c359W
Mr. Longden

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many men and women teachers, respectively, have left the profession within five years of having completed their training within the last five years.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The latest available estimates suggest that among non-graduate men and women who enter teaching in maintained primary and secondary schools in England and Wales, almost 20 per cent. of the men and approximately 60 per cent. of the women are no longer in such teaching service after five years.
