Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 March 2026

Debate

Further Education (Initial Teacher Training) Regulations 2026

Contribution

I am sure the noble Lord will recognise that professional development support is available for teachers of English and maths and for those coming from industry to teach technical and vocational subjects, which is a unique area for FE. Our industry exchange programme rolling out across the construction sector, for example, gives learners access to teachers with the latest technical expertise and workplace skills. We will continue to strengthen leadership in the sector, including by reviewing the national professional qualifications to better meet the needs of teachers and leaders in FE.
