A total of 521 teachers were awarded pension on retirement from secondary, community and comprehensive schools in 2006. The corresponding number of retirement awards in 2007 was 651. The overwhelming majority of these were wholetime teachers. My Department will write to the Deputy as soon as possible with the exact numbers of those retiring from wholetime positions.
