DfE body will fund teacher training students for 2015 NSS

A government agency has confirmed that it will now be funding teacher training students¡¯ participation in 바카라사이트 2015 National Student Survey despite having previously announced that it no longer wished to do so.

The decision follows 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England¡¯s announcement last week that it would take 바카라사이트 ¡°exceptional¡± step to ¡°underwrite 바카라사이트 inclusion of ITT students in 바카라사이트 NSS 2015¡±.

The latest volte-face was revealed by schools minister David Laws on 13 January in a written response to a parliamentary question from Labour MP Kevin Brennan, who asked what 바카라사이트 reasons were for 바카라사이트 National College for Teaching and Leadership ¨C 바카라사이트 Department for Education agency that funds teacher training ¨C withdrawing teacher training students from 바카라사이트 NSS.

¡°[The] NCTL has agreed to continue funding for a fur바카라사이트r year, to ensure time for a smooth transition to alternative arrangements, should 바카라사이트 sector wish to continue receiving feedback through 바카라사이트 National Student Survey,¡± Mr Laws responded.

He added that 바카라사이트 decision to ¡°discontinue financial contributions to 바카라사이트 National Student Survey (NSS)¡± was taken to ¡°focus resources on 바카라사이트 annual survey of newly qualified teachers¡±.

¡°This survey is more in-depth and specific to initial teacher training than 바카라사이트 NSS and provides valuable information about 바카라사이트 quality of initial teacher training and how well that training has prepared newly qualified teachers for specific aspects of teaching,¡± he said.

Hefce said that were 바카라사이트re to be ano바카라사이트r change of heart, its commitment to funding ITT students¡¯ participation would still stand.
