§ Mr. StrawTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) if he will publish tables giving the most detailed information available, for England and Wales and by local authority, of the number of persons, full and part-time, other than fully qualified teachers, employed in schools including nursery schools and classes, breaking down the figures by nature of responsibilities undertaken and with an estimate of the full year salary costs and of average earnings per employee, at the latest available date;
(2) what information is collected, and what studies have been made, concerning the number, qualifications and responsibilities of people employed in schools other than fully qualified teachers.
§ Mr. Kenneth Baker[holding answer 7 April 1989]: The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy publication "Education Statistics 1988–89 Estimates", a copy of which is in the Library, shows, separately for each respondent local education authority and for primary (including nursery), secondary and special schools, estimated full-time equivalent numbers of and associated expenditure per full-time equivalent pupil on support staff, premises related staff, administrative and clerical staff and mid-day supervisory assistants. It also shows for each authority estimated numbers of unqualified teachers and of school meals service staff broken down into organisers and clerical staff, mid-day supervisors and kitchen and canteen staff. Staff numbers are not broken down into full time and part time.
The Department collects information by local education authority on the number of student teachers and instructors in schools. The figures for January 1988 are set out in table 1. Local education authorities make returns to the Department of the Environment of their spending on non-teaching staff in schools. Table 2 sets out for 1986–87, the latest year for which firm data are available, spending by LEA on educational support staff, adminstrative and clerical staff and manual staff and on school meals staff. Information on average earnings per employee is not available.
No other information is collected, and no specific studies have been made, of the number and characteristics of persons employed in schools other than qualified teachers. The information given above is for England only: information for Wales is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
