GEORGE PASCOE-WATSON AT least 150 convicted paedophiles are working in schools, The Sun has discovered. We uncovered the shock figure last night as Education Secretary Ruth Kelly battled to save her skin over the scandal of pervert teachers. Kelly yesterday admitted she and her ministers cleared five sex offenders to work in schools in just 13 months. Thats the same number as were cleared by ministers in all the EIGHT YEARS since Labour came to power. The scandal emerged as Education Secretary Ms Kelly admitted to MPs that 88 perverts had not been banned from classrooms or had been lost in the system. Only a handful are feared to have returned to teaching. But SEPARATE figures disclosed to The Sun reveal a more shocking threat to our kids.
A conservative estimate is that at least 150 paedophile teachers are in the nations classrooms. All are perverts convicted before 2000 and given partial bans. Because they had a lust for boys, they were allowed to carry on working with GIRLS or vice versa. All will be subjected to new investigations led by Sir Roger Singleton. Their names are among 4,045 on the Education Departments discredited List 99 which the public had been led to believe barred sex offenders outright from working with kids. Yesterday embattled Ms Kelly was backed by Tony Blair as she pledged to close loopholes in the system. She declared: Nobody who is convicted or cautioned for child sex offences should be allowed to teach in schools. Shadow Education Secretary David Willetts demanded: So why has this Government done so for the last eight years? Ms Kelly said that of the 88 perverts, 32 were never put on the schools blacklist despite being on the Sex Offenders Register. A huge probe is under way to find if any are still working. Thirteen perverts are under investigation after being given the green light by officials to work in classrooms but it is not known if they are teaching. Others won permission to continue working like PE teacher Paul Reeve, who was caught viewing child porn, and maths master William Gibson, a convicted child molester.
