To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she plans to continue to report on the (a) outputs of the Teacher Workforce Model and (b) extent to which targets are met.

The department uses the Teacher Workforce Model to calculate postgraduate initial teacher trainee targets each year.

These targets are published online each year as part of an official statistics publication, the department intends to publish the 2025/26 academic year targets as usual.

Performance against the published initial teacher training (ITT) recruitment targets is reported within the ITT census official statistics publication. The next publication will be reporting against the 2024/25 academic year targets and has been pre-announced for December this year. The precise date of publication will be announced nearer the time.
