Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of recent trends in the number of people who enrol in early years teacher training.
The Initial Teacher Training (ITT) Census publishes experimental statistics on the number of new entrants to Early Years ITT, including a breakdown by route. Data going back to academic year 2016/17 are available in the latest ITT Census publication, which is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-training-trainee-number-census-2017-to-2018.
