asked the Minister for Education if he will state, in respect of each of the last five years: (a) the number of new pupils enrolled in the primary schools, and (b) the number who ceased attending school; further in respect of each such period, the number of pupils on roll, distinguishing between boys and girls, whose ages (i) exceeded 14 years but did not exceed 15 years; (ii) exceeded 15 years but did not exceed 16 years, and (iii) exceeded 16 years.
Particulars of new enrolments are not supplied by managers or teachers on the returns furnished annually and the only figures available are those showing the number of pupils on rolls in the infant classes as given in the Annual Report of my Department published by the Stationery Office.
Figures showing, over a period of five years, the number of pupils who have ceased to attend school and the number of boys and girls on rolls over 14 years of age would take a considerable time to prepare. I will look into the matter again and will communicate with the Deputy later.
asked the Minister for Education if he will state, in respect of the latest date for which information is available: (a) the total number of pupils on roll in each primary school in Dublin County Borough; and (b) the total number of teachers in each such school.
This information is being prepared at present and I will arrange to have it supplied to the Deputy as soon as possible.
