The government will launch a long-awaited school teacher degree apprenticeship for non-graduates next year, it has been announced.
The four-year course, which would see apprentices achieve a degree and qualified teacher status, will be piloted with “up to” 150 trainee maths teachers from September 2025.
Apprentices would spend “around 40 per cent” of their time studying and the rest of the time in the classroom, the Department for Education said.
The government missed its secondary teacher recruitment target by 50 per cent this year.
