INITIAL TEACHER TRAINING

Early day motion 1071, tabled 14 April 2003 by Tony Colman (Labour). Signed by 27 members.

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.
