Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the total public funding, including loan-financed tuition fees, quality-related research funding, and Department for Education grants, received in each of the last three years by (1) the University of Cambridge Faculty of Education, and (2) each other university-based accredited initial teacher training provider in England.

The department does not routinely collect or publish data in a form that would enable the total public funding received by each university based accredited Initial Teacher Training (ITT) provider in England to be identified on a comparable basis for each of the last three years.

The department is unable to estimate the amount received by the University of Cambridge, or any other university based accredited ITT providers, through loan financed tuition fees or research funding. Tuition fee loans are administered through the student finance system and published data is not available at a teacher training provider level. Research funding is allocated and published separately by Research England. Department for Education grant funding is provided through a range of separate programmes, including grants to support the delivery of ITT. Details of the department‘s grant schemes are recorded on the Government Grants Information System in accordance with government grant transparency requirements.
