HC Deb 18 June 2003 vol 407 cc320-1W
Mr. Willis

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many successful completers of(a) undergraduate and (b) postgraduate teaching qualifications there were as a proportion of entrants and applicants in each year since 1990. [118121]

Mr. Miliband

Course length data for new entrants is not available for all years and so it is not possible to match completers, entrants and applicants to give a meaningful proportion of completers to entrants and applicants in each year.

The data which is available is shown in the tables.
