Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the average number of months was that recruits in previous cohorts served in the Troops to Teachers programme.
The first Troops to Teachers participants are still undertaking their training. The first cohort began training in January 2014, so all of the current trainees have served 14 months on the programme. The second cohort started training in September 2015, therefore current trainees have served 6 months on the programme.
