Teacher Training
Mr. Dhanda: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what support his Department gives to UK citizens living abroad who would like to return to the UK in order to undertake teacher training. [174992]
Mr. Miliband: Eligibility for support from public funds in respect of Bachelor of Education and Postgraduate Certificate in Education courses in England normally depends on whether or not a person is ordinarily resident in this country or the wider European Economic Area (EEA). Employment-based teacher training schemes, the largest of which is the Graduate Teacher Programme, offer an alternative route to Qualified Teacher Status which allows candidates to be employed in schools as unqualified teachers and paid accordingly while they train. Candidates who are not ordinarily resident in EEA country can take part in these programmes on exactly the same basis as those who are.
Teachers
Mr. Watts: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what estimate the Government has made of the likely increase in salary costs of requiring all teachers to work up to the age of 60 years. [174846]
Mr. Miliband: There is no existing or proposed requirement on teachers to work to the age of 60.
Vocational Training
Mr. Simmonds: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what proportion of the cohort of (a) 16, (b) 17, (c) 18, (d) 19, (e) 20 and (f) 21-year-olds (i) commenced and (ii) completed (A) NVQ level 3 courses and (B) modern apprenticeships in each year since 1992. [172625]
Alan Johnson: The proportions of 16 to 21-year-olds to have commenced either a NVQ level 3 in Learning and Skills Council (LSC) funded further education, an advanced apprenticeship or an apprenticeship in 2001/02 and 2002/03 are shown in the following table.

Please note that direct comparisons should not be made between the proportions in the two tables as individual learners will have their programmes of learning delivered over different years. For example, some of the 17-year-olds to have commenced an NVQ 3 course in 2001/02 will finish as 17-year-olds in 2001/02, others will finish in 2002/03 as 18-year-olds, while others will finish the year after as 19-year-olds.
The percentages in both these tables are produced using post-census population estimates. However we are currently unable to provide a historical series on a comparable population basis. Further information can be found in the Department's Statistical First Release, "Participation in Education, Training and Employment by 16–18 Year Olds in England: 2001 and 2002" available online at: http://www.dfes.gov.uk/rsgateway/DB/SFR/s000426/index.shtml.
Watford Grammar School for Boys
Mr. Gibb: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what proportion of students at Watford Grammar School for Boys are selected by aptitude or ability. [175426]
Mr. Miliband: This information is not collected centrally by the Department.
