asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list in the Official Report the schools in Lanarkshire which are short of teachers; of what grades of teacher there is a shortage; and if he will circulate to the local education committee his proposals for the pupil-teacher ratio for each school.
School census returns for primary schools at September 1974 were measured against the minimum staff complements prescribed in the Schools (Scotland) Code (Amendment No 1 Regulations) 1972. The return for each secondary school included a comparison with a "notional complement" based on proposals in the Report "Secondary School Staffing" for achievement by session 1977–78, but excluding a special allowance for probationer teachersThe schools in Lanarkshire where staffing fell short of these complements are listed below. I have no proposals for pupil-teacher ratios for individual schools; the staff complements systems are known to all education authorities.
