Education Staffing statistics by gender for secondary schools
To whom this may concern,
I am hoping to collect some basic statistics on gender and teaching roles in Scotland to enable me to work on my Med dissertation. I would like to find out:
• The number of men and number of women who currently hold head teacher positions in Scottish secondary schools within your council.
• The number of men and number of women who currently hold deputy head teacher positions in Scottish secondary schools within your council.
• The number of men and number of women who currently hold principal teacher/faculty head positions in Scottish secondary schools within your council.
• The number of men and number of women who currently hold classroom teacher positions in Scottish secondary schools within your council.
I would be very grateful for a response.
Kind regards,
Holly Hamilton
