🚨 Addressing the ITT Shortage: Ensuring a Bright Future for Education in England 📚 In the landscape of education, the shortage of Initial Teacher Training (ITT) placements in England is a pressing concern that demands our attention. Did you know that the availability of high-quality ITT placements directly impacts the recruitment and retention of skilled educators? Here's why we need to take action: 🔍 Recent data indicates a significant shortfall in ITT placements across various subject areas and regions in England. This shortage not only hampers the recruitment of new teachers but also places additional strain on existing educators. 📉 The ITT shortage poses a threat to the long-term sustainability of our education system, potentially impacting student outcomes and exacerbating disparities in educational attainment. 💡 How can we help address the ITT shortage in England? Step Into Teaching is a pre-teacher training programme design to support and upskill graduates prior to their teacher training. We work with schools, colleges and MATs to identify local talent and provide them with the foundation to enable them to succeed with their careers in education. We have been able to provide a successful pipeline of graduate talent to some of the biggest ITT providers in England who are able to hand select and support graduates through their teacher training and onto their teaching careers. If you would like to learn more about Step Into Teaching and the benefits of partnering with us to your school, college or MAT then please reach out to us on the link below through our website. https://t.ly/ngsD4 #ITTShortage #EducationInEngland #EmpowerEducators 🍏🎓

A really interesting read about the need to offer students a broad range of vocational qualifications. “One in five working-age adults in England hold a BTEC and 32 per cent of current provision for 16-18 year olds is at risk as a result of the reforms, equating to around 300,000 students.” This alone shows the impact vocational education has on individuals and the need to get this right. As someone who studied BTECs when I was at school and now as Head of Vocational Education I’ve seen first hand how valuable these types of qualifications are when it comes to developing skills that will benefit young people in their future careers. https://lnkd.in/esirVbM5

Most people think that to get into a career you love, you have to follow the ‘system’ – the usual choices that many people make to get qualified. Unfortunately, you may choose a place to study based on its reputation instead of its benefits. This can lead to a disappointing experience that lacks depth and support – only to end up with no job confidence. At Bedford, we believe education shouldn't be institutionalised, inflexible and impersonal. And it shouldn’t be unsupportive and unproductive, leaving students unprepared. Education is not a system. You are not a number. At Bedford, we believe in transforming education – education that is empowering, effective, and all-encompassing. Enrolments for Term 3 are now open, so to enrol or to ask about flexible study options, get in touch on enquire@bedford.edu.au or call 1300 174 174 We believe in you. #BedfordSydney #BedfordCollege #TransformingEducation RTO code: 90301 CRICOS code: 01589B
