June DfE Apply has offers up by 11% on last year but still likely to see under-recruitment in a dozen subjects. #ITTCrisis

[Mark Crowley @MarkMchem]

DfE yet to release its 2025-26 targets for ITT. However recent DfE Apply data still paints worrying picture. #ITTCrisis

[Mark Crowley @MarkMchem]

DfE data on applications for Physics teacher training in England. Significant growth in applications and offers (for overseas candidates). But clearly issues prevent these converting into actual numbers in census. #ITTCrisis

Latest data from DfE Apply on numbers of trainees starting in England in Sept'24. Recruitment window will soon close and some of these will also not commence. #ITTCrisis

Another year of poor ITT recruitment is on the cards, with 11 out of 17 subjects below target, and geography and primary also likely to be below. Bursaries and international recruitment propping some subjects up a little, but generally weak like last year

DfE's April update of applications for postgraduate teacher training suggest few targets will be met by September even with incredibly optimistic modelling for the next three months. Still no Business Education bursary despite years of under-recruitment!?!

Great piece on ECT woes. https://t.co/Op63yrFeDG

[Mark Crowley @MarkMchem]

DfE have published March application figures for PG teacher training. With 5 months left for recruitment, we can make fairly good predictions of the shortfall against DfE targets. #ITTCrisis

I just signed the petition calling on Paula Vennells, the former CEO of the Post Office to be stripped of her CBE. Will you sign too? #MrBatesVSThePostOffice https://t.co/ihQBqPYj7B via @38degrees

Received flier for East Midlands Mayor. Poor guy looks to have no mates apart from Michael F'in Gove

[Mark Crowley @MarkMchem]

Today the DfE announced bursaries for teacher training 24-25. Many are linked to missed targets for recruitment. Why are they ignoring Business Studies? #ittcrisis

Suella Braverman is wrong.

Multiculturalism isn’t the problem.

But we know what the problem is…

DfE data for 2023-24 ITT training. Actual census will be published in Nov and include TeachFirst numbers. Best case scenario of census and likely "success". #ITTCrisis

[Mark Crowley @MarkMchem]

@DeborahWeston - a fantastic job on the expert panel at today's Select Education Committee!!

[Mark Crowley @MarkMchem]

With schools due to close a reminder that in July 2010 Gove scrapped Building Schools for the Future. Miserable Pipsqueak https://t.co/IIY1Ee7W87

[Mark Crowley @MarkMchem]

@teachingofsci Not seen any mention in forthcoming DfE statistics release. Might investigate a FoI request.

[Mark Crowley @MarkMchem]

ITT 23-24 Recruitment - was asked to model numbers based on current applications (yesterday's data but with 5% no-shows) and include strong TeachFirst numbers.

[Mark Crowley @MarkMchem]

@Swampyjo DfE could easily publish data on this particularly as HEI/SCITTs can use Pre-ITT Subject Knowledge (SKE) funding where degrees are not a good match.

[Mark Crowley @MarkMchem]

@teachingofsci Definitely agree that the % no show (or "unable to take up their offer") for Physics and MFL will increase due to barriers such visa issues etc.
