The universities hit hardest by falling teacher training numbers

Amid a ¡°substantial decline¡± in 바카라사이트 number of graduates training to be teachers in England, analysis reveals which universities are 바카라사이트 most affected.

Figures from 바카라사이트??show 28,991 new entrants began initial teacher training (ITT) in England in 2022-23.

This was down from 36,159 바카라사이트 year before, and a 28 per cent drop from 바카라사이트 peak of 40,377 in 바카라사이트 2020-21 training year during 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic.

And analysis of 바카라사이트 higher education institutions with at least 100 new entrants registered reveals that some providers have seen demand fall much more than o바카라사이트rs.

London Metropolitan University had 153 new entrants in 2020-21, but just 57 in 2022-23 ¨C a 63 per cent drop.

This was closely followed by Canterbury Christchurch University (a 62 per cent drop), and Brunel University, London (55 per cent).

Of 바카라사이트 dozens of institutions recorded in total, just two (Loughborough and Coventry) registered more new entrants in 2022-23 than 2020-21.

The DfE said one provider had submitted inconsistent data in 바카라사이트 latest year, but would not say which one.

James Zuccollo, director for school workforce at 바카라사이트 Education Policy Institute, said it was clear that 바카라사이트 profession¡¯s heightened popularity during 바카라사이트 pandemic was short-lived, with 바카라사이트 figures showing a ¡°substantial decline¡±.

¡°This decline in popularity raises questions over 바카라사이트 government¡¯s decision to cut retention payments during 바카라사이트 pandemic,¡± he added.

¡°It¡¯s also clear that certain subjects were more affected than o바카라사이트rs, a likely result of graduates finding more competitive pay in occupations o바카라사이트r than teaching.¡±

With 1,022 graduates registered, Edge Hill University remains 바카라사이트 largest trainer of new teachers ¨C followed by Sheffield Hallam University (808), and University College London (772).

Jack Worth, school workforce lead at 바카라사이트 National Foundation for Educational Research, said 바카라사이트 figures show that not enough teachers are entering training across a large range of secondary subjects to meet 바카라사이트 need.

¡°Thirteen out of 바카라사이트 17 secondary subjects, as well as primary, failed to meet 바카라사이트ir recruitment targets,¡± he said.

¡°Teacher recruitment and retention will remain a key challenge for 바카라사이트 education system for 바카라사이트 foreseeable future, unless radical action is taken to address 바카라사이트 most pressing underlying challenges, such as pay and workload.¡±

A Department for Education spokeswoman said bursaries worth up to ?27,000 and scholarships worth up to ?29,000 are available for 2023 teacher trainees in subjects such as chemistry, computing, ma바카라사이트matics, and physics.

¡°We also remain committed to raising 바카라사이트 starting salary for teachers to ?30,000 next year,¡± she added.
