Outsourcing company Capita has withdrawn from delivering the government’s flagship teacher training and development programme to new teachers.
The firm told Schools Week it decided not to bid for delivering early career framework courses starting in September 2023 and 2024.
It is currently one of six founding providers overseeing the national roll out of the scheme since 2021.
Figures from Ofsted inspections in the scheme’s first year show Capita had much lower take-up of its training course compared to the five other providers.
