Higher Technical Education Reform

"The Minister acknowledged that take-up of higher technical qualifications is lower in this country compared with our international competitors. I commend him for the statement and its curriculum objectives, but would he acknowledge that the low take-up is not just a result of the curriculum but is about a deep-seated …..."

Further Education Funding

"Notwithstanding the Treasury’s historical aversion to hypothecated taxation, does the hon. Gentleman agree that, given that the Government are making a substantial surplus out of the apprenticeship levy at the moment, there is a strong moral case for recycling that money into the 16-to-18 sector?..."

Special Educational Needs

"The hon. Gentleman is being generous in giving way. I want to develop the point a little. The reports that I get back from schools in my constituency indicate that the knock-on effect of pressures on local authority funding for such children is on mainstream school budgets. Increasingly, schools have …..."

Oral Answers to Questions

"Many midlands businesses, especially manufacturing businesses, are desperate for apprentices. Schools are currently focused on, and judged by, their ability to get students through exams and into university. Will the Secretary of State develop a set of performance indicators to demonstrate the success of schools in enabling their students to …..."

Written Question
Teachers
Monday 4th June 2018

Asked by: Adrian Bailey (Labour (Co-op) - West Bromwich West)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of teaching graduates have gone on to work in schools in (a) England, (b) the West Midlands and (c) Sandwell Metropolitan Borough in each of the last five years.

Answered by Nick Gibb

The proportion of postgraduate final year trainee teachers awarded qualified teacher status, who were in a teaching post within 6 months of qualifying, is published in the Department’s annual initial teacher training (ITT) Performance Profiles statistical release. This is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-training-performance-profiles-2015-to-2016.

A time series of data for England are published in table 5a of the ‘Main Tables’ of the latest publication, which relates to trainees in the 2015/16 academic year.

Statistics by region are available for the 2014/15 and 2015/16 academic years in the ‘Main Text’ of the relevant publications. The Department does not publish this data by local authority district, but figures are available by ITT provider in the Provider-level tables.

Written Question
Teachers
Monday 4th June 2018

Asked by: Adrian Bailey (Labour (Co-op) - West Bromwich West)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps his Department is taking to ensure teaching students go on to work in schools once they have graduated.

Answered by Nick Gibb

The latest data shows that 95% of postgraduate trainee teachers who were awarded Qualified Teacher Status were employed in a teaching post within six months of qualifying[1].

Initial Teacher Training (ITT) providers are required to demonstrate that their trainees go on to secure employment in schools; employment rates are one of the outcome measures that Ofsted uses to grade ITT providers.

The Department is developing a free national digital service for schools to publish teacher vacancies and for teachers to search for them. This new service will assist newly registered teachers to find posts.

The Department is also testing early-career payments for new maths teachers; they will receive a generous upfront payment of £20,000 and two early retention payments of at least £5,000 in their third and fifth year of teaching, wherever they teach in England, or £7,500 in 39 local authorities. In addition, teachers will benefit from the student loan repayment threshold rise, and a pilot student loan reimbursement programme for science and Modern Foreign Language teachers in 25 local authorities, in the early years of their career.
