Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many recruits for the teaching of (a) Physics, (b)
Chemistry and (c) Biology in secondary schools were recruited into initial teacher training courses in each of the last five years.

Ms Estelle Morris: There are no national data available for secondary initial teacher training courses in Physics, Chemistry and
Biology. Data are available for secondary initial teacher training Science courses. Recruitment to Science for England over the last
five years is given in the table.

Ms Estelle Morris: The numbers of entrants to PGCE initial teacher training in maths and science in England and Wales for the five
years 1994-95 to 1998-99 are given in the following table.

It is too early to predict recruitment to PGCE courses in 1999-2000. However, following the introduction of £5,000 incentives in
maths and science, applications have gone up substantially, by 37 per cent. for maths to 1,306 and 24 per cent. for science to
2,784. Within the figure for science there have been increases of 33 per cent. for physics and 27 per cent. for chemistry. We are
therefore confident that the decline in recruitment since 1995 will be reversed this year.The following table taken from the Higher
Education Statistics Agency's Student Record Survey shows the percentage of those commencing PGCE teacher training who were
graduates in maths, physics and chemistry in the years 1995-96 and 1997-98. These are the subjects of first degree and not
necessarily the subjects or phase in which the student is undertaking teacher training. Information for the current year and 1998-99
is not yet available. There are a significant proportion of students for whom the first degree subject is unknown. The subjects of
first degree do not include combined courses, or closely related courses such as engineering.
