§ Mr. McFallTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what percentage of teachers who qualify in(a) Surrey and (b) England and Wales do not go into teaching the following year.
§ Mrs. RumboldThe latest information on the destinations of students successfully completing initial teacher training in England and Wales relates to 1988 for the university departments of education and to 1987 for the other training institutions. These data indicate that 19 per cent. of those qualifying and whose destination was known had not taken up a teaching post anywhere in the United Kingdom by the end of the same year. Some of these were still seeking a teaching post and will have entered teaching subsequently.
There are no initial teacher training institutions in the Surrey education authority area.
