§ Mr. Reidasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many remedial teachers were employed in Clackmannanshire/Clackmannan district for each year since 1970 and what are the proposed numbers for 1977.
§ Mr. McElhoneThe numbers of remedial teachers, including the full-time equivalent of part-time staff, employed in education authority schools in Clackmannanshire in January 1973 and January 1974 were 2.6 and 8.9, respectively. The numbers employed in education authority primary schools in Clackmannashire in September 1974 and in Clackmannan District in September 1975 were 3.9 and 8.8, respectively. Data for the period before January 1973 are not sufficiently detailed to be comparable. Figures for secondary schools since January 1974 are not available. I am unable to provide information for future school sessions.
