Subject knowledge enhancement (SKE) courses will only be available in five subjects with the “greatest sufficiency challenges” from next month after the government cut funding.
In an email sent to providers, seen by Schools Week, the Department for Education announced that programmes will only be funded for maths, physics, chemistry, computing and modern foreign languages.
Existing commitments for the four axed subjects – primary maths, D&T, English, biology and RE – will be “honoured for those candidates expecting to start” programmes up to and including April 10.
However providers are now no longer able to recruit for those subjects.
