The number of accredited teacher trainers in England will drop by about a quarter following the government’s ITT review, according to a sector body that has vowed to support any resulting legal action.
The Universities Council for the Education of Teachers (UCET), which represents teacher trainers in higher education, said a further 99 providers had been re-accredited in the second round of the review.
Added to the 80 accredited in round one, this means 179 providers have now been re-accredited. As of last year, there were around 240 operating in England. Official figures, and the names of successful providers, are due to be published later today.
