<p>Education contracts were not managed by the Ministry of Justice prior to November
2016, so we are unable to provide figures for 31 December 2010.</p><p> </p><p>The
following figures were reported by Prison Education Framework providers and are correct
as of 20 June 2019. The number of teachers employed in establishments with publicly
funded education services across England is provided below:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Date</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number
of teachers employed</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31 December 2018 <em>(services
delivered under the Offender Learning and Skills Services contracts)</em></p></td><td><p>2,865</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31
May 2019 <em>(services delivered under the Prison Education Framework contracts)</em></p></td><td><p>2,530</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>We must ensure that offenders leave prison with the basic skills that are essential
to entering the workplace and with the skills employers need. That is why we have
put governors in full control of the education provided in their prisons so that they
can tailor it, both to their specific populations and for the local jobs market.</p>
