Mounting teacher workloads are “getting in the way” of flagship government training and development reforms, Ofsted has said.
More than half of teachers surveyed also disagreed that recent training they had received was of high quality, interim findings from the first year of the watchdog’s professional development review found.
It follows the introduction of the early career framework (ECF) in 2019 and new national professional qualifications (NPQs) in 2021.
“Schools know that professional development is vital, so it’s disheartening to see poor-quality training and workloads getting in the way,” said Ofsted‘s chief inspector Amanda Spielman.
