Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 11 December 2017 to Question 118033 on Pre-school Education: Teachers, for what reason her Department does not set a target for the number of enrolments in Early Years Initial Teacher Training courses.
The Early Years Initial Teacher Training programme is a demand-led training programme. It is for the training providers to decide on the number of places they can offer. They bid for places and we provide funding to meet the demand.
