§ Mr. Knoxasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what measures she intends to introduce to halt the loss of trained teachers from the profession.
§ Mr. ThatcherNone. Net wastage rates for teachers aged under 60 have recently been about 2 per cent. for men and under 5 per cent., for women, and show a tendency to fall. The figures overstate the true loss to education because they include the movement of teachers from full-time to part-time service and from work in grant-aided schools and establishments to other work in education.
