HC Deb 18 December 1990 vol 183 cc122-3W
Mr. Kilfedder

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the intake of teacher training courses in England and Wales in 1989–90; and what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the numbers to provide for the needs of primary and secondary schools and institutions of further education in the years after 1993.

Mr. Fallon

[pursuant to his reply, 14 November 1990, c. 152]: My right hon. and learned Friend is today publishing the technical document describing our projections of school teacher demand and supply. A copy has been placed in the Library. It will contribute to a more informed debate about teacher supply by setting out the basis of our projections, and providing a range of projections as illustration. This will assist those who wish to produce their own projections and to form a view about ours. The document also responds to the Education, Science and Arts Select Committee which asked for a clearer statement of the Department's projection methodology.
