HC Deb 06 July 1990 vol 175 c709W
Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many extra teachers and potential extra teachers have been recruited as a result of his Department's recent advertising campaign; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Howarth

Nearly 20,000 requests have been received from people seeking information about teaching as a career in response to the first phase of the teacher recruitment advertising campaign. The next step is for those who, as a result of the campaign, have decided upon a career in teaching to approach their local education authority or contact the graduate teacher training registry depending on their qualifications and experience.
