Councils will continue to check on schools’ teacher induction provision for an extra year after ministers decided to “phase” plans to put teaching school hubs in sole charge.
But proposals to toughen up guidance to ensure schools face more rigorous checks will go ahead as planned.
Ministers had proposed a shake-up of “appropriate bodies” under the early career framework from 2023, amid concerns new teachers and their mentors are not given enough time for induction.
But the department today pushed this back by a year, after consultees warned the proposals would not give enough “transition” time.
