Teachers: Training
(asked on 4th December 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many teachers with qualified teacher status have enrolled on subject knowledge enhancement courses in each year since 2018.
This question was answered on 7th December 2023
Government funded subject knowledge enhancement (SKE) courses are not available to teachers who already hold qualified teacher status (QTS). The SKE programme supports recruitment to Initial Teacher Training (ITT) in subjects with the biggest sufficiency challenges. It is only available to candidates who have a conditional offer of a place on an ITT programme which leads to the award of QTS.
