Department for Education: Staff

Asked by Neil O'BrienConservativeDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 6 February 2025UIN 26502

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many and what proportion of staff in her Department are qualified teachers.

Answered by Janet Daby

The information on staff teaching qualifications is not centrally held on the department’s HR system. Seeking the information across the department’s full workforce could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
