Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate his Department has made of the number of students in London schools taught by unqualified teachers in each year since 2012.
The information requested is not held centrally.
The Department collects pupil numbers from the pupil census ‘Schools, pupils and their characteristics’ and teacher numbers from the School Workforce Census ‘School Workforce in England’, but does not hold information on what pupils were taught by which teachers, qualified or unqualified.
