HC Deb 27 October 1967 vol 751 cc581-2W
Mr. Mackintosh

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give the number of honours graduates teaching in Scotland and the proportion of all graduate teachers holding honours degrees in Scotland in the years 1964, 1965 and 1966; and whether it is the intention to include these statistics in the future reports of the Scottish Education Department.

Mr. Ross

The figures for 1964 and 1965 are given in the table below. Corresponding figures for 1966 are not available. It is hoped to publish statistics of honours graduate teachers in future issues of "Scottish Educational Statistics".
