There are currently 1,707 primary teachers and 557 voluntary secondary and community and comprehensive school teachers on career break. These figures do not include teachers from the Education and Training Board schools. This information would be available from the individual ETB.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 435 and 437 together.

The following tabular statement contains the information requested by the Deputy.

The number of graduates from primary and post primary initial teacher education courses have remained reasonably constant in the last number of years.

My Department does not hold information regarding the number of graduates that have been successful in securing full time employment.
