Information on the levels of qualifications of these teachers could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
Mr. Graham Stuart: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many full-time teachers entering the profession left the profession within (a) three and (b) five years in the latest period for which figures are available in each local authority area in Yorkshire and the Humber; and if he will make a statement. [201961]
Jim Knight: The information requested is not available by local authority area.
The readily available information relates to the percentage of newly qualified teacher who remained in local authority maintained service in England a number of years after qualification. This information is provided in the following table.
| Percentage of full and part-time( 1) secondary teachers that qualified in a particular year and were still in service in the maintained sector in England a number of years later | ||||||||||
| Percentage in full or part-time service the following number of years later | ||||||||||
| Year qualified( 2) | Newly qualified entrants | First year in service( 3) | 1 yr | 2 yrs | 3 yrs | 4 yrs | 5 yrs | 6 yrs | 7 yrs | 8 yrs |
| (1) Teachers in part-time service are under-recorded on the DTR by between 10 and 20% and therefore these figures may be slightly underestimated. (2) Calendar year in which the teachers qualified. (3) Financial year during which the teachers entered service. Notes: 1. The length of service may not have been continuous; for example, not all of those shown as teaching eight years after entering service in 1997-98 may have taught continuously for eight years, some may have taken periods of time outside of the maintained sector. 2. Figures relating to 2004-05 and 2005-06 are provisional; entrant numbers rounded to nearest 100. Source: Database of Teacher Records (DTR) | ||||||||||
