Answer

Mr. Willis: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many primary school teachers there are in (a) England, (b) each region and (c) each local education authority, broken down by (i) race and (ii) gender. [201678] Mr. Miliband: Information on the ethnic origin of teachers in the maintained sector is collected annually, but cannot be split by gender or phase of education. A breakdown of the information available for January 2004 at national, regional and LEA level was published in SFR 34/2004, Table 18. A copy of this has been placed in the House of Commons Library. It is also available at the following URL: http://www.dfes.gov.uk/rsgateway/ DB/SFR/s000493/index.shtml The following table gives the headcount number of qualified full-time and part-time primary teachers employed in maintained nursery and primary schools by gender for England, by region and LEA at March 2003, (the latest information available by gender).
