Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent estimate she has made of the number of unqualified teachers working in maintained schools.

Information on the school workforce in England, including numbers of teachers with and without qualified teacher status (QTS) by school type, is published in the ‘School workforce in England’ statistical publication, which can be accessed here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-workforce-in-england.
