Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many physics graduates entered PGCE courses for secondary teaching in each of the last five years. [123036] Ms Estelle Morris: The number of new entrants to postgraduate initial teacher training (ITT) courses for secondary teaching in Physics is not collected centrally. The numbers of new entrants to postgraduate ITT courses in England for secondary teaching in Science for the last five years are given in the following table. Intake to postgraduate initial teacher training (ITT) in England _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Year Intake 1995-96 2,530 1996-97 2,564 1997-98 2,438 1998-99 2,058 1999-2000 2,149 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Note: Data are mid year provisional Source: TTA Survey of ITT Providers Coverage: Universities and other HE Institutions, School Centred ITT and Open University At 25 September 1999, with Golden Hello incentives, the number of Physics applications for postgraduate ITT was up by 40 per cent. on the previous year. The number of new entrants on postgraduate ITT Science courses in England for 1999-2000 was up by 4 per cent. on the previous year, effectively meeting the overall target for the year. It is too early to predict recruitment to PGCE courses in 2000-01. The following table, taken from the Higher Education Statistics Agency's Student Record Survey shows the percentage of those commencing PGCE ITT in England, funded by the Teacher Training Agency (TTA), who were graduates in Physics in the years 1995-96 to 1998-99. 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 is not yet available. There is 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.

Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many graduates in (a) maths, (b) physics and (c) chemistry are expected to commence teacher training in the current year; and how many commenced teacher training in each of the preceding five years. [92750] 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.

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.
