89. Ms. Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he intends to take to improve morale among the teaching profession; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Rumbold

The interim advisory committee foresees substantial gains in the self-confidence of teachers as the Government's education reforms are successfully introduced. The recommendations of the committee should significantly increase the attractiveness of teaching as a profession. My right hon. Friend will shortly be meeting the teacher unions to discuss the committee's report.
