¡®Inexplicable delays¡¯ in disclosure of teacher-training funding

James Noble-Rogers, chief executive of 바카라사이트 Universities¡¯ Council for 바카라사이트 Education of Teachers, says in his letter to Mr Gove that 바카라사이트 continued uncertainty over funding allocations will have a ¡°negative impact¡± in schools.

The delay in 바카라사이트 announcement means that institutions have been unable to offer places because of 바카라사이트 ambiguity over 바카라사이트 amount of money expected from 바카라사이트 government.

¡°Initial teacher-training providers are not able to offer highly qualified and potentially gifted teachers places on ITT programmes because of inexplicable delays in announcing next year¡¯s allocations,¡± he writes.

The funding announcement from 바카라사이트 Department for Education, expected next week, should give universities an idea of how far 바카라사이트 plans set out by Mr Gove in his recent White Paper will affect 바카라사이트 money allocated to higher education for teacher training. Proposals outlined in November include a national network of ¡°teaching schools¡±, based on 바카라사이트 model of teaching hospitals, which may see 바카라사이트 focus of training shift away from universities.

Mr Noble-Rogers has warned previously of 바카라사이트 potentially ¡°damaging¡± effects of removing universities entirely from 바카라사이트 process.

In his letter to Mr Gove, he says 바카라사이트 government¡¯s delay in announcing funding for teacher-training courses had led to universities missing out on potential students: ¡°I have heard from a number of our member institutions that many applicants are withdrawing and seeking alternative career options,¡± he writes.
