Ofsted has ordered one of the government’s flagship teacher development providers to improve its new early career framework and national professional qualification programmes.
The Education Development Trust, a charity also recently handed contracts for the National Tutoring Programme and National Careers Service, is “not taking effective action” to ensure high teacher training standards, a monitoring inspection found.
It marks the first time an ECF or NPQ lead provider has been given such a rating, with the majority now inspected. Other inspected providers have been rated “effective” so far.
