Initial teacher training providers and degree-awarding institutions can apply to offer the pilot secondary mathematics teacher degree apprenticeship. From: Department for Education Published: 4 February 2024 Applies to England ContentsWe’re developing a new route into teaching - the teacher degree apprenticeship. It will be a high-quality initial teacher training (ITT) course. Apprentices will get an undergraduate degree alongside qualified teacher status (QTS). We’re inviting applications from providers and partnerships to take part in a funding pilot for the secondary mathematics teacher degree apprenticeship. Successful providers will:
Schools that employ trainees as part of the pilot will receive financial incentives to support with trainee salary costs. This is to cover the proportion of time trainees will spend studying towards their qualification. This funding is available for up to 150 trainees in total. Employers will also have access to the apprenticeship levy to fund training and assessment costs for the teacher degree apprenticeship. What you’ll get We’ll provide grant funding for successful applicants of up to £12,500 per provider or partnership. This is to support with course development costs. If successful, we’ll put you in contact with a named Department for Education (DfE) official. They can help with general queries and any concerns. Eligibility To apply for the pilot, an organisation or partnership must:
You can also be in a partnership with an accredited ITT provider or a degree-awarding institution. If you’re applying as a partnership, both organisations must already be on the apprenticeship provider and assessment register. Providers should have an Ofsted inspection rating of 1 (outstanding) or 2 (good) for your secondary QTS provision. What’s involved We expect the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education to publish the teacher degree apprenticeship standard in spring 2024. We can share a draft version of the standard in advance on request. You’ll be able to start recruiting trainees from autumn 2024. The first training year will start in autumn 2025. You’ll need to:
Schools will employ teacher degree apprenticeship trainees for the whole of the 4-year course. We expect that trainees on this course will spend an average of approximately 40% of their working week at university studying towards their qualification. Schools that employ trainees as part of the pilot will receive financial incentives to support with trainee salary costs to cover the time they will spend at university. Timelines for pilot programme
