§ Mr. PawseyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has received a copy of the interim report produced by the university of Warwick on the workloads of secondary school teachers; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. EggarMy right hon. and learned Friend is grateful to the Assistant Masters and Mistresses Association for sending him a copy of this interim report. He has made it clear that he holds the commitment and professionalism of teachers in high regard and he has already taken steps to minimise the burdens which the implementation of our education reforms has placed upon them. This includes stemming the flow of paperwork to schools.
