<p>There are two types of subject knowledge enhancement (SKE) courses: pre initial
teacher training (ITT) SKE, to support recruitment of trainee teachers in shortage
subjects; and post ITT SKE, to support workforce challenges in schools.</p><p> </p><p>We
have surpassed our target for trainees entering chemistry teacher training in each
of the last three years, recruiting 121% of the target in 2011/12, 108% in 2012/13,
and 127% in 2013/14.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the latest annual School Workforce
Census (2013)[1] shows that 80.4% of chemistry teachers who teach pupils from years
7 to 13 have a relevant post-A Level qualification, up from 72.7% in the 2010 census[2].</p><p>
</p><p>Data for the number of chemistry SKE courses for 2009-2013 is below. Post ITT
SKE courses were available only from the academic year 2011/12. SKE course data for
2013/14 is not yet available.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Academic
