HC Deb 08 December 1998 vol 322 c180W
Mr. Truswell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what assessment he has made of teacher morale; and if he will make a statement. [62361]

Mr. Charles Clarke

My colleagues and I continually assess teacher morale through the various contacts we have with teachers, which include visits to schools, face to face meetings, correspondence and consultations. We have published, on 3 December, a Green Paper setting out our vision of a modernised profession capable of creating a world class education service.
