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]

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.
