The Prison Service does not centrally collate education data at prisoner level. The following table shows the provisional average number of hours spent in educational activity per week per prisoner in young offender and juvenile institutions in 2007-08. Young offenders held in prisons categorised as adult are not included.
Each of the four secure training centres (STCs) in accordance with STC Rules 1998 ensure that each trainee participates in education or training courses for at least 25 hours a week, except when on authorised absence such us attending court appearances or sickness.

The following table shows the overall staff to prisoner ratio and unified staff to prisoner ratio for each young offender and juvenile¹ institution at the end of March 2008. Young offenders held in adult categorised prisons are not included. Unified staff relates to those staff that are officer or governor grades.
Youth Justice Board do not set precise staff to prisoner ratios for secure training centres (STCs); instead, they agree with providers the minimum starting levels necessary to ensure effective supervision. Broadly speaking, the minimum staffing levels are three members of custody staff to young people living in a group of eight and two members of custody staff to young people living in a group of six.The figures for prison establishments and STCs are not directly comparable. The figures for prisons relate to all staff employed in the establishment, while the ratio for STCs relates only to staff engaging directly with offenders.
| Prison | Prisoner population | Total staff in post | Total staff to prisoner ratio | Total unified staff | Unified staff to prisoner ratio |

The information requested is as follows:(i) Assaults in Young Offender InstitutionsThe information requested is set out in the following table but is subject to important qualifications. The Prison Service incident reporting system processes high volumes of data which are constantly being updated. The numbers provide a good indication of overall numbers but should not be interpreted as absolute. Assault data is complex and may include threatening behaviour, projection of bodily fluids and other non-contact incidents. Information on assault incidents may involve more than one assailant or more than one victim. In a proportion of incidents only the victim is known.Assault information is recorded at establishment level in four categories:Prisoner on Prisoner, Prisoner on Officer, Other (including miscellaneous assault information) and Prisoner on Other. Rises or falls in reported numbers from one year to the next are not a good indicator of underlying trend for a particular prison. Additionally there have been improvements in reporting over the years, and this is reflected in the following tables.
(ii) Assaults in Secure Training CentresWhile the Youth Justice Board collects data from all secure establishments the information requested is only available from the period April 2007. The total number of incidents involving (a) trainee and trainee, and (b) trainee on staff for the period of April 2007 to March 2008 is as follows:
