Mr Willis: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what recent assessment he has made of progress toward his Department's targets for the recruitment of trainee teachers in 2002, broken down by subject. [81076] Mr. Miliband: Provisional figures published today by the Teacher Training Agency show that 31,261 people have been recruited to courses of initial teacher training in England in 2002-03, 2,067 more than in 2001-02. This third successive annual rise in recruitment vindicates the Government's decision, announced last December, to make 1,900 more training places available this year than in 2001-02. The table shows numbers of trainees recruited as a percentage of the total number of training places available by phase and subject. Figures do not include the 1,904 new entrants to the Graduate Teacher Programme so far this year, of whom 935 are training in the priority subjects of mathematics, science, modern languages, technology and English. 2002-03 _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

The recruitment figures by subject exclude the 116 entrants on the fast track teaching route, attending ITT in 2002-03 as part of the programme. Of these, 29 are train in primary, and 87 in secondary, (8 mathematics, 20 English, 22 science, 16 modern foreign languages, 1 technology, 13 history, 3 geography, 1 physical education, and 3 music). 2. The 2002-03 ITT target includes a margin of flexibility. The 100 places available under the margin of flexibility is used as a provision for the TTA to "vire" places between secondary subjects within certain parameters. 3. Other secondary subjects, includes classics, economics and other social sciences and other subjects.

Norman Lamb: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many training places have been allocated in each county in England under the Graduate Teacher Programme in (a) this school year and (b) next school year. [68931] Mr. Miliband: The information is not available in the form requested. The table shows total numbers of Graduate Teacher Programme places awarded in 2001-02 by Government office region and the numbers of places for 2002-03 that have been awarded to date. Figures for 2002-03 do not therefore include approximately 600 places that have still to be allocated. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
