To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 5 September 2016 to Question 43027, what assessment she has made of trends in the number of applications to early years teacher training courses over the last five years.

Asked by:
Judith Cummins (Labour)

The early years initial teacher training statistics can be found in the Initial Teacher Training census for the academic year 2016 to 2017, England on page 14 of the Main Text SFR57/2016 document. This was published on GOV.UK 24 November 2016 and is attached for further information.

This publication contains all the data which is of sufficiently robust quality to provide accurate information to inform debate. Previous years’ data were collected under different systems and are not comparable over time.
