Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will consider allocating initial teacher training (ITT) places for a period of more than one year to facilitate forward planning by ITT providers; and if not why not.
It is not our intention to allocate initial teacher training places for more than one year for a number of reasons; principally that the market is evolving in response to expansion of school-led provision and we require flexibility to respond to these circumstances.
