Qualified Teachers (Withdrawal From Profession)

63.

Mr. Ridsdale
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many of those who qualified at teacher training colleges in 1960 to 1964, respectively, have since left the teaching profession.

Mr. Prentice
I cannot give an exact answer to the Question in the form it is put but I will, with permission, publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the best estimate I can make.

The following is the information:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Number of students successfully completing course at College of Education*                     |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Estimated number who had left service in maintained primary and secondary schools by 31.3.1964‡|
