INITIAL TEACHER TRAINING

14 April 200327 Signatures

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the introduction of Government incentives to encourage more students into initial teacher training; is concerned that the financial incentives offered to PGCE students are not available to undergraduate ITT students who have to pay tuition fees and do not receive equivalent training incentives; and therefore urges the Government to address the discrepancy in financial incentives between the various routes to achieving qualified teacher status.
