PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Teachers: Recruitment (10 November 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much (a) schools and (b) colleges have spent on private sector recruitment and search agencies for teacher recruitment in each in each of the last five years.

Asked by:
Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat)

The Department does not have the specific data requested but it is committed to helping schools recruit teachers as efficiently as possible. We have therefore begun to develop a teacher vacancy site that will enable schools to recruit teachers without paying for advertising.
