Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to his Department's Teacher Recruitment and Retention strategy, whether the commitment to fund five per cent off timetable in the second year of teaching will apply to teachers in academies.
Once reforms for induction are introduced nationally, all early career teachers in their second year of statutory induction will be entitled to funded five per cent off timetable, subject to regulatory changes. All relevant institutions, including those academies that choose to provide induction, will have to comply with these regulations.
