Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many Modern Languages teachers have been recruited in each of the last five years to work in (1) primary, and (2) secondary, schools.
This question was answered on 28th September 2015
Recruitment to primary initial teacher training (ITT) is not subject specific. Therefore, the Department for Education does not hold data on those recruited in languages to primary schools.
The number of people recruited to secondary ITT in languages over the last five years is shown in the table below:
Recruitment year | 2010/11 | 2011/12 | 2012/13 | 2013/14 | 2014/15 |
Number recruited | 1,550 | 1,410 | 1,620 | 1,324 | 1,105 |
