Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many applications were received for courses of postgraduate initial teacher training commencing in September; and how many had been received at the same stage last year, broken down into those applying for secondary teaching in (a) maths, (b) foreign languages, (c) science and (d) technology. [126317] Ms Estelle Morris: Latest available figures for applications for postgraduate initial teacher training courses in England and Wales for secondary teaching in maths, modern foreign languages, science and technology, together with comparative figures for the previous year are given in the table. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 3 June 2000 5 June 1999 Mathematics 950 1,085 Science 2,167 2,324 Modern Languages 1,757 1,673 Technology 871 928 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Note: The figures are for applications as entered on the GTTR computer system. Source: Graduate Teacher Training Register (GTTR) The Government announced on 30 March that training salaries would be introduced for postgraduate trainees starting initial teacher training courses from September 2000. Since that date, latest available figures show 1,119 (32 per cent.) more applications have been input onto the Graduate Teacher Training Registry computer system than for the equivalent period last year. The number of trainees recruited onto mathematics postgraduate initial teacher training courses declined between 1994-95 and 1998-99. There was a similar decline in the number of trainees recruited onto science postgraduate initial teacher training courses between 1996-97 and 1998-99. Last year, with the introduction of "golden hellos", recruitment to mathematics and science was up on the previous year. In recognition of the fierce competition for good graduates in mathematics, science, modern foreign languages, information technology and design and technology, as well as £6,000 training salaries, new style "golden hello" incentives of £4,000 were announced for postgraduate trainees in these subjects who pass their induction year and go on to take up a relevant teaching post. Since the announcement, available figures for all these subjects together show an increase of 379 or 22 per cent.

Sources: Intake: TTA Survey of ITT Providers Targets: DfEE As a result of the introduction of "Golden Hellos", recruitment to secondary teacher training in mathematics was 17 per cent. higher than the previous year. For science the figure was 4 per cent. and recruitment was very close to target. In both these subjects, the previous trend was a decline in recruitment. "Golden Hellos" will also apply to secondary teacher training in modern foreign languages from September 2000. In the longer term, the reforms announced in the Teachers Green Paper will improve the pay, training leadership and support for teachers and encourage more of the best graduates to join the profession.

The percentage of pupils who attained 5 A*-C GCSE/GNVQs in schools in those education action zones which began in 1998-99 was 20 per cent. in 1998 and 23 per cent. in 1999. The permanent exclusion rate for schools in Education Action Zones was 0.25 per cent. in 1997-98. (This is the latest year for which data are available. Exclusion data for 1998-99 from the 2000 Schools' Census will be published in June).

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. Intake to PGCE initial teacher training (ITT) in England and Wales to train in maths and science, 1994-95 to 1998-99 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Year Maths Science 1994-95 1,651 2,714 1995-96 1,575 2,686 1996-97 1,443 2,705 1997-98 1,233 2,590 1998-99{1} 981 2,195 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. {1} Provisional mid-year data Sources: England: Higher Education Students Early Statistics Survey 1994-95; TTA Survey of ITT Providers 1995-96 to 1998-99 Wales: Welsh Office 1994-95; Higher Education Students Early Statistics Survey 1995-96 to 1998-99 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.
