The planned annual public funding for Further and Higher Education in England in 2001–02

1 Includes staff whose primary employment function is teaching or teaching/research. Staff whose primary function is research are not included.

2 Staff who moved to other HE institutions, either in the UK or overseas, have not been classed as leavers and are therefore excluded from the table.

Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the annual staff turnover has been in Further Education colleges in the last five academic years. [20104]

John Healey

The Department does not collect information about the annual rates of staff turnover in the further education sector.

A survey carried out in 2001 on behalf of the Association of Colleges and further education unions, and partly funded by the Department, found that, in 1999–2000, the rate of staff turnover was 10 per cent. for lecturers and managers and 14 per cent. for support staff. We are not aware any comparative figures for earlier years.
