Amendments 436B and 436C, in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Barran, seek further flexibilities to the requirement for QTS in terms of time needed to gain QTS and an exemption for teachers of shortage subjects. The previous Government, whom the noble Baroness was part of, recognised the importance of new teachers getting the professional training they need. This amendment would deny some new teachers the high-quality training and induction precisely when they need it most: at the start of their professional career.
