Recommendation 26
26
Acknowledged
Paragraph: 109
Continue to monitor impact of ITT reviews to ensure sufficient regional capacity and provision.
Conclusion
We are pleased that initial concerns that the initial teacher training review would result in ‘cold spots’ and further disparities have not come to fruition. We welcome the use of partnerships to allow de-accredited providers to merge with accredited providers in their region and we are happy with the growth of new providers entering Teacher recruitment, training and retention 79 the market. The Department should continue to monitor the impact of the Initial teacher training (ITT) reviews to ensure that regional capacity and the provision of Initial Teacher Education is sufficient.

Acknowledged
The Department recognises the considerable investment that both accredited ITT providers and their lead partners have made in developing partnerships to deliver the new Quality Requirements from September 2024. These partnerships are ensuring there is good coverage of high-quality training places across regions, subjects and phases. The Department will continue to monitor the supply of places and candidate demand closely, to assess when and where future rounds of accreditation for new entrants to the market or returning ITT providers might be needed.
