The early years workforce strategy published in March 2017 committed to reviewing the early years initial teacher training routes to make sure we are maximising the impact of the programme. It also committed to considering how wider work on strengthening Qualified Teacher Status could offer positive opportunities for raising the status and parity of early years teachers. The government will provide an update on these commitments in due course.
