Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what percentage of staff providing training in teaching skills have had at least one term's regular teaching experience in the last five years.

Sir Wyn Roberts

The criteria for the accreditation of initial teacher training includes the requirement that, from the beginning of the current academic year, all staff at institutions who are concerned with training students in teaching skills must have had at least one term's experience of teaching in school in the previous five years. OHMCI monitor courses regularly to ensure that institutions comply with this requirement.
