§ Mr. Kenneth BakerThe readily available information is shown in the following table:
of the House on 2 May, and issued under a press notice on 3 May. The results included summary analyses of teachers by age and qualification by subject, their deployment on subject teaching, the percentages of secondary pupils studying different subjects in each year group of compulsory schooling and information on teacher absences. I drew attention to the main findings in a speech in the House on 2 May. No press conference was held about the results.
A full set of analyses from the survey will be published shortly.
