The University of Cambridge has said it “lacks confidence” in the government’s new teacher training framework and wants its rollout delayed by at least a year.
The Russell Group institution, which runs a teacher training programme, said the initial teacher training and early career framework (ITTECF) unveiled by the Department for Education this week “falls short” of what is needed.
The new framework will combine and replace the currently separate initial teacher training core content framework (CCF) and the early career framework (ECF) from September 2025.
But the university’s faculty of education warned “we lack confidence in this document”.
