Mr. Robin Squire

The latest information available for new entrants to teaching with qualified teacher status in England and Wales is for the year April 1993 to March 1994. The data have been obtained from the database of teacher records. There were no entrants qualified through the Open university or school centred initial teacher training in 1993. Comparable figures are quoted for newly qualified teachers.
