HC Deb 25 November 1994 vol 250 c432W
Mr. Hain

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the average annual cost of employing a physical education teacher.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

Information about teaching costs is not held centrally by subject specialism. The average cost of employing a secondary school teacher is estimated to be £25,296. This figure is derived from the total teacher costs, including promoted staff and employer overheads, which are generally estimated to be about 16.5 per cent. of the total pay bill.
