§ Mr. Macdonaldasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science during the years 1964 to 1969, respectively, how many of those who successfully completed full-time study courses for post-graduate diplomas and certificates in education took up teaching posts in fully maintained schools; how many took up posts in other schools; and how many took up occupations other than teaching.
§ Miss BaconComplete information is not available, but a sample survey of students successfully completing 3-year courses of training in colleges of education in 1966 suggested that 3 per cent. took teaching posts outside maintained schools. 4 per cent. took other occupations, including further study and voluntary service overseas, gave marriage as a reason for not teaching, or did not reply.
A similar survey gave information about 91 per cent. of graduates successfully completing training in 1967. Of these 69 per cent. took teaching posts in maintained schools and 23 per cent. teaching posts outside. 8 per cent. took other occupations, including further study and voluntary service overseas, or gave marriage as the reason for not teaching.
