HC Deb 27 January 1977 vol 924 c771W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many new appointments of primary teachers have been made in Wales from Welsh colleges of education in 1975–76.

Miss Margaret Jackson

A total of 1,477 newly-trained teachers were appointed to maintained primary, nursery and secondary schools in Wales in the school year 1975–76. I regret that separate information is not available of the number appointed to primary schools, nor of how many of the new appointments were trained in Welsh teacher training institutions.
