Teacher trainers responsible for more than 5,000 trainees face having to merge with others or close after being left without accreditation following a controversial government ITT review.
A third of school-based initial teacher trainers (SCITTs) and one in seven universities that provided teacher training before the review either failed to gain accreditation or chose not to apply (see full list at bottom of story).
The National Association of School-Based Initial Teacher Trainers said 27 SCITTs failed to get through either of the two accreditation rounds held this year, while 31 did not put themselves forward.
