Joint International Unit
Mr. Hayes:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the budget is of the Joint International Unit; and how much was spent over 2005-06 on recruiting foreign students to UK institutions. [117109]
Bill Rammell:
The total Joint International Unit budget for programmes in 2005-06 was £34,956,000 and in 2006-07 is £44,185,000. The amount spent through the DFES Prime Ministers Initiative to recruit foreign students to UK institutions was £1,200,000 in 2005-06. The Joint International Unit covers both Department for Work and Pensions and DFES international programmes. It is estimated that international students contribute around £5 billion per year to the UK economy.
Literacy: Primary Schools
Andrew Rosindell:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what steps his Department (a) is taking and (b) plans to take to improve the literacy of primary school students. [117469]
Jim Knight:
Since the introduction of the National Literacy Strategy in 1998, there has been a 14 percentage point improvement in the number of pupils achieving the target level for their age in the Key Stage 2 English tests.
To build on this success, the new Primary National Strategy literacy framework was made available to schools October 2006 and will support faster progression in English. The new framework fully reflects the recommendations from Jim Rose's independent review of early reading which advocates high quality phonic work as the key means for teaching beginner readers how to read and spell words. The implementation of the new framework is backed by a comprehensive programme of professional development for head teachers and subject leaders in
23 Jan 2007 : Column 1655W
schools. The Primary National Strategy also continues to improve the focus and accessibility of its comprehensive range of teaching and training support including through expert consultants at the local level in order to improve primary results at both key stages.
Furthermore the Every Child a Reader pilot, which provides intensive support for those children with significant difficulties in reading, will be rolled out nationally benefiting 30,000 children a year by 2011.
National College of School Leadership
Mr. Hayes:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the annual budget is of the National College of School Leadership; and how many people are employed there. [117112]
Jim Knight:
In 2005-06 the annual budget including grant in aid and other income and supplementary programme funding was £95.074 million as reported in the college's annual report and accounts. The average number of people employed by the college during this period was 247, including agency, temporary and contracted staff.
Parents in Prison
Annette Brooke:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) how many children in England are known to have had a parent in prison in (a) 1996 and (b) 2006; [115460]
(2) how many children in England are predicted to have a parent in prison in (a) 2007 and (b) 2008. [115459]
Mr. Sutcliffe
[holding answer 15 January 2007]: I have been asked to reply.
Information on the number of children having a parent in prison is not collected centrally.
A 2003 resettlement survey of 1,945 adult British national sentenced prisoners showed the average number of children per prisoner was 0.87.
More detail on the 2003 survey is available in Home Office Research Findings 248 which is available on the research development and statistics website:
School Libraries
Mr. Gibb:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills whether it is the policy of his Department that school libraries should include information on students ethnicity as part of their records of borrowers. [110748]
Jim Knight:
It is for schools to decide what information school libraries keep on borrowers. For those schools that have libraries the Department has no policy on the collection and recording of information.
Sexual Orientation Regulations
Mr. Hayes:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what discussions he has had on
23 Jan 2007 : Column 1656W
the effects of the Sexual Orientation Regulations on the religious freedom of Christian Unions in (a) universities and (b) schools. [106732]
Mr. Dhanda:
Ministers in the Department have held no such discussions.
Special Educational Needs
Mr. Hoyle:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what proportion of children in (a) Chorley and (b) Lancashire with a special educational need were referred to the Special Educational Need and Disability Tribunal in the last two years. [117195]
Vera Baird:
I have been asked to reply.
The following table gives the number of appeals against Lancashire local authority in the last two school years, and the number of children with special educational needs in the local authority's primary and secondary schools in the January of the relevant period. Appeals concern children residing in the local authority, rather than pupils at the local authority's schools. It would therefore be misleading to express one figure as a proportion of the other. Chorley is not a local education authority and we do not collate appeals data at the more local level.

Special Schools
Mr. Willetts:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many unfilled special school places there were in each local authority in England in each year since 1997. [117438]
Mr. Dhanda
[holding answer 22 January 2007]: This information is not collected centrally.
Teachers: Redundancy Payments
Mr. Willetts:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many teachers took redundancy payments in each local education authority in each year from 1997 to 2006; and what the total value of redundancy payouts made in each authority was in each year. [116990]
Jim Knight:
The information requested is not collected centrally.
Teaching Assistants
Mr. Willetts:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many teaching assistants there were in schools in each local authority in each year from 1997 to 2006. [116989]
Jim Knight:
The following table provides the number of full-time equivalent teaching assistants employed in local authority maintained schools in England by local authority, January 1997 to 2006.
