<p>The Department does not collect information on nationality in the school workforce
census for teachers in England. In the Migration Advisory Committee’s European Economic
Aarea (EEA) migration report, published in September 2018, it was estimated that there
are 11,400 and 13,100 EEA-born primary and secondary school teachers, respectively,
working in the UK. This accounts for 2.6% (primary) and 3.0% (secondary) of the total
numbers. This compares to around 5% of the general population. The full report can
be found here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/741926/Final_EEA_report.PDF"

</p><p>For the first time in the 2018-19 Initial teacher training (ITT): trainee number
census, the Department published data on the nationality of ITT trainees. In academic
year 2018-19, there were 28,570 postgraduate new entrants to ITT whose nationality
was known. Of these, 93% were UK nationals (26,525), 5% were EEA nationals (1,405)
and 2% were nationals of other countries (635). These are the same proportions as
in academic years 2017-18 and 2016-17. The census results can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-training-trainee-number-census-2018-to-2019"
