Trained Teachers (Unemployment)

HC Deb 11 December 1969 vol 793 cc153-4W

49. Mr. R. C. Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many trained teachers who left colleges of education in July, 1969, have not yet found employment.

Mr. Edward Short

As I told my hon. Friend the Member for Wolverhampton, North-East (Mrs. Renée Short) on 13th November, exact figures are not available, but it is likely that very few newly- qualified teachers who have sought posts have failed to find them.
