As of 31 July, there were 6463.50 full-time equivalent civil servants in the Department for Education.

Members of staff across the department work on EU Exit issues across a range of policy areas as required. In addition to a central co-ordinating team, EU exit work is embedded and prioritised as necessary across the department’s policy responsibilities. It is therefore not possible to give an accurate figure specifically for work on no deal EU exit issues.
