Science: General Certificate of Secondary Education
Mr. Graham Stuart:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many and what percentage of secondary schools in each local authority in Yorkshire and the Humber offered GCSE courses in (a) physics, (b) biology and (c) chemistry in each of the last five years; and if he will make a statement. [199250]
Jim Knight:
The Department for Children, Schools and Families does not hold information on subjects offered by schools.
Secondary Education: Admissions
Joan Ryan:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what the secondary school population is in (a) Enfield North and (b) Enfield Southgate; and what the average secondary school population per constituency is in (i) London and (ii) England. [192936]
Jim Knight:
A table showing the number of secondary schools and pupils in each parliamentary constituency has been placed in the House Library.
Specialised Diplomas
Tony Baldry:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what percentage of bids for 14 to 19 Diplomas in 2009 under the Gateway 2 process have been turned down. [199098]
Jim Knight:
I announced the results of the Gateway 2 process on 17 March. This year’s applications were stronger as a result of the considerable development work carried out by the consortiums themselves over the last year. This resulted in a higher number of successful applications: 58 per cent. of lines of learning were approved for delivery from 2009, and 25 per cent. for delivery from 2010, and 17 per cent. were asked to reapply.
Teachers
Michael Gove:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many teachers have taught at three or more schools on full-time contracts since 2002. [198715]
Jim Knight:
The information requested is not collected centrally.

Teachers TV
Mr. Hoban:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what his most recent estimate is of the average number of Teachers TV viewers (a) online and (b) on television each day; and how many of these are teachers. [195801]
Kevin Brennan:
The current figures show that 110,000 members of the schools workforce watched the channel on average each month with each viewer watching over four programmes per week. On average 129,000 unique users visit the website each month. Viewing to the channel among the schools workforce is measured by an independent market research company on a monthly basis.
Teachers: Qualifications
Mr. Graham Stuart:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what steps he plans to take towards the introduction of the masters in teaching and learning qualification; what estimate he has made of the cost of introducing the qualification; and if he will make a statement. [199383]
Jim Knight:
Plans for the introduction of a masters in teaching and learning for teachers were set out in ‘Being the Best for our Children: Releasing Talent for Teaching and Learning’ on 7 March. Our aim is that over time the qualification should be open to all teachers, and our expectation is that every teacher will
21 Apr 2008 : Column 1574W
want to complete it at some stage in their career. We propose to begin by targeting the masters mainly on teachers in the first five years of their careers, building on initial teacher training and induction. The Training and Development Agency for Schools has been asked to start developing the programme. Initially £30 million has been set aside for the programme in the current spending review period.
Teachers: Temporary Employment
Anne Main:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many agency teachers were employed in each of the last three years, broken down by local education authority; and how much each such authority spent (a) in each year and (b) per agency teacher in each such year. [190443]
Jim Knight:
The information requested for the number of agency teachers employed in each of the last three years is not collected centrally. Information for occasional teachers employed through agencies was collected until 2003 in the Annual Survey of Teachers in Service and Teacher Vacancies, 618g. In 2003 there were 4,990 agency staff employed in local authority maintained schools in England.
The following table provides the total expenditure on agency supply teaching staff by local authority maintained schools in each local authority in 2004-05 to 2006-07. Information is not available for the expenditure spent per agency teacher in each of the last three years.
