§ Mr. Don FosterTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what estimate she has made of the(a) gender profile, (b) average length of service and (c) average age of the teaching profession. [11341]
§ Mr. ForthIn March 1995, 34 per cent. of full-time teachers in maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools were men, and the average age for all teachers was 41. Information on average length of service is not available, since records are not available prior to 1962.
