HC Deb 12 May 1976 vol 911 c188W
22. Mr. Alexander Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his estimate of the student output from teacher training colleges in Scotland, at the Summer Recess; and how many will be unable to find posts when their training is completed.

Mr. Millan

The expected output of qualified teachers at the end of this session is about 5,500. Education authorities are not yet in a position to estimate the total number of vacancies in the schools this summer.

30. Mr. Doig

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, in view of the fact that 164 students will be seeking employment as teachers in June from Dundee but have already been informed by the Tayside Regional Council that none of them will be employed by them in the Dundee division, he will provide further funds for Tayside Regional Council to enable them to expand their teaching staff.

Mr. McElhone

No.
