Recommendation 27
27
Deferred
Paragraph: 111
Continue publicising teaching as a vocation through broad advertising to attract high quality candidates.
Conclusion
We recognise the need to get more people onto ITT courses; however, this should not be achieved by compromising on quality, and ITT providers should continue to uphold high entry standards. The Department should continue publicising teaching as a profession through broad advertising that focuses on teaching as a vocation more generally in order to attract high quality candidates.
Government Response Summary
The government highlights its manifesto commitment to improve maths teaching quality through the Maths Hubs programme, rather than addressing the recommendation on ITT entry standards or broad advertising for the teaching profession.
