Supply Teachers

Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many registered supply teachers there are in England and Wales. [17118]

Mr. Timms: We do not keep a central register of supply teachers.

There were 19,600 short-term supply teachers (on contracts of less than one month) employed for the whole day in the English maintained schools sector on the 18 January 2001, the date of the annual census of teachers in service, approximately 4.6 per cent. of all teachers employed in the maintained schools sector.

Hardship Funds

Alistair Burt: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much was allocated for hardship funds for universities in the United Kingdom, broken down by university, in (a) 2000–01 and (b) 2001–02. [17288]

Margaret Hodge [holding answer 22 November 2001]: The Government have provided £93 million for higher education students through the access and hardship funds in 2001–02, over four times the amount in 1997–98. The funds are used to provide hardship payments and access bursaries, as well as fee waivers for part-time students on benefit and low incomes, and opportunity bursaries for young disadvantaged students through the excellence challenge programme.

The following table shows amounts allocated by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) for students in hardship in 2000–01 and 2001–02. In 2001–02, the funding allocated includes access bursaries for students with children. Access and hardship funds for institutions in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are a matter for the National Assembly for Wales, the Scottish Executive and the Northern Ireland Executive respectively.

⁽¹⁹⁾ In addition to the allocations listed in 2000–01, the Government made available a total of £14.8 million for mature student bursaries. HEFCE is not able to provide a breakdown of the bursary allocations.

⁽²⁰⁾ Arts Institute at Bournemouth, Institute of Cancer Research, Conservatoire of Dance and Drama and Royal Agricultural College are all showing not to have an allocation in 2000–01, as these institutions were not funded by HEFCE at that time.

⁽²¹⁾ Bretton has no allocation in 2001–02 as it has now merged with Leeds Metropolitan University.

⁽²²⁾ Homerton College received an allocation in 2000–01, but for 2001–02 their allocation was added to the University of Cambridge's total.
