To ask the Scottish Government how many probationary teachers in (a) primary and (b) secondary schools have not started their placement in each local authority area in each year since 1999.
The Scottish Government does not hold this data. The General Teaching Council of Scotland (GTCS) is best placed to advise on how many newly qualified teachers progress each year to meet the Standard for Full Registration, through the Teacher Induction Scheme (TIS) or by the Flexible Route.
