The Martin Report used an allowance of 7% of total strength to account for losses due to resignations, etc. This has probably increased since then because of the greater numbers of married women employed.

See also for a discussion on estimates of wastage — (i) Interim Report on Post-Primary Staffing and Recruitment — Commission on Education in New Zealand. Wellington, 1960, 29–30. (ii) A.C.E. Teachers in Australian Schools, 73.

It is estimated that in the last 35 years in Queensland some 13,000 women have passed through Departmental Teachers' Colleges. As the total number of married women currently employed in the State service is 1,800, there must be some thousands of trained teachers who at least are potential returners to the service.
