Recruits from teacher trainers that have partnered with the National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) will count towards the flagship organisation’s recruitment targets.
The institute has been billed as England’s “flagship teacher training and development provider”, backed by a government contract of up to £121 million. Although just £5 million of this is for running the institute, with £6 million for research.
The rest is to fund recruits for the training programmes it offers, similar to other providers – and a lot will also be funded by ITT trainees.
Set up by four academy trusts, NIoT recruited 502 trainees for this year, its first year of delivery – hitting its 500 target.
