It is the responsibility of Local Authorities to ensure that all children receive a suitable education, including those who are electively home educated. The Government\u2019s view is that existing powers, if used in the way set out in the Government\u2019s guidance, are\u202fenough for a Local Authority to determine whether the provision at home is suitable.<\/p>

Information on the retention rates of qualified teachers and the number of newly qualified entrants to state funded schools in England is published in the annual \u2018School Workforce in England\u2019 national statistics release. The information can be accessed at: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-workforce-in-england<\/a>.<\/p>

87.5% of teachers who qualified in 2020 were still teaching one year after qualification. In the year to November 2021, the full time equivalent of 43,981 teachers joined the state-funded sector in England, including 3,850 deferred newly qualified teachers and 22,059 newly qualified teachers.<\/p>

The requested figures by region and local authority are in the attached tables. Figures relate to a teacher\u2019s original location, which is not necessarily the location they were in when leaving the state funded sector. If a teacher moves to a state funded school in a different local authority or region, they are counted as still in service. One-year retention rates will be the least affected by movement across boundaries. Retention percentages may go up as well as down because the methodology employed allows for non-continuous service where teachers leave and re-join the state funded sector over time.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nick Gibb"} , "attachment" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1541788/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "86460 86461 Table 161122.xlsx"} , "title" : "86460 86461 Table"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-11-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "86461"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-11-21T14:23:07.7Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-11-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Teachers"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of teachers who qualified in each year from 2010-2020 were still in service in the English state school sector (a) one, (b) two, (c) three, (d) four, (e) five, (f) six, (g) seven, (h) eight, (i) nine, (j) ten and (k) eleven years after qualifying by (i) region and (ii) local authority.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4046", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Bridget Phillipson"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Houghton and Sunderland South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Bridget Phillipson"} ], "uin" : "86460"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1541805", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1541805/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Over the last year, backed by £25 million in Government funding, the Department has provided 386,699 CO2 monitors to state funded schools and colleges, including early years and further education institutions.<\/p>

In January 2022, the Government committed to fulfil all eligible applications for air cleaning units to state funded schools and colleges for poorly ventilated teaching spaces where quick fixes to improve ventilation were not possible. All eligible applications received have been fulfilled, with 8,026 air cleaning units distributed.<\/p>

During 2022, the Department has provided 121 CO2 monitors and 36 air cleaning units to schools and colleges in the Stockport constituency. The bulk of the CO2 monitors were rolled out in 2021.<\/p>

The Department does not monitor ventilation or the provision of air cleaning units in independent schools and colleges. The law says that all employers, including all education and childcare establishments, must make sure there is an adequate supply of fresh air (ventilation) in enclosed areas of the workplace. This has not changed during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>

The Department continues to monitor the consequences of the rising cost of living and is working with other Government Departments to provide support. The Department will continue to keep free school meal (FSM) eligibility under review to ensure that these meals are supporting those who most need them. In setting a threshold, the Government believes that the current level, which enables children to benefit from FSM, while remaining affordable and deliverable for schools, is the right one.<\/p>

The latest published statistics show that around 1.9 million pupils are claiming FSM. This equates to 22.5% of all pupils, up from 20.8% in 2021. Together with a further 1.25 million infants supported through the Universal Infant Free School Meal policy, 37.5% of school children are now provided with FSM.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nick Gibb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-11-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-11-18T15:05:41.037Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-11-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Free School Meals: Cost of Living"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will undertake a review of the eligibility criteria for free school meals in the context of the cost of living crisis.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4811", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Navendu Mishra"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stockport"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Navendu Mishra"} ], "uin" : "86629"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1541447", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1541447/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Teachers\u2019 Standards set clear expectations that teachers must understand the needs of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), which includes neurodiverse conditions. All trainees who achieve Qualified Teacher Status must demonstrate that they can adapt teaching to respond to the needs of all pupils.<\/p>

To support all teachers to meet these standards, the Department is implementing high quality teacher training reforms, which will begin with initial teacher training and continue into early career teaching with the Early Career Framework (ECF), through to the reformed suite of leadership and specialist NPQs, ensuring that teachers have the skills to support all pupils to succeed, including those with SEND. Both the Initial Teacher Training Core Content Framework and ECF have been designed around how to support all pupils to succeed, including those pupils identified within the four areas of need set out in the SEND Code of Practice.<\/p>

In addition, the Universal Services programme, backed by almost £12 million, will help schools and the further education workforce to identify and meet the needs of children and young people with SEND, including those with autism, earlier and more effectively.<\/p>

Citizenship forms a compulsory part of the National Curriculum at Key Stages 3 and 4. Within citizenship, pupils in secondary maintained schools in England will be taught the workings of Parliament, voting and elections; the role of police, courts and justice; free press, human rights and international law; and the governments of other countries. Citizenship teaching should equip pupils to explore political and social issues, to debate, and to make reasoned arguments. Economic and financial education within citizenship prepares pupils to manage their money well and make sound financial decisions.<\/p>

The Department does not prescribe how the National Curriculum should be taught, but schools are expected to develop a curriculum that meets the needs of their pupils.<\/p>

The Department has published Political Impartiality in Schools guidance to support teachers in tackling sensitive issues in the classroom in a politically impartial way. The guidance can be accessed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/political-impartiality-in-schools<\/a>.<\/p>
