answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2018 answer text <p>​It is essential that the further education (FE) sector is able to recruit and retain excellent teachers if we are to achieve a world-class technical education system in England. Due to the independent nature of the FE sector, and government’s historical relationship with it, we do not have detailed data on FE teacher pay, or on the wider FE workforce.</p><p>We are undertaking work to understand the situation better, including the specific challenges and opportunities in relation to teacher recruitment and retention in the sector. This includes our recent College Staff Survey, which is helping us develop a better insight into the state of the teaching profession in FE and shows that more than half of all teachers have worked in the sector for ten years or more.</p><p>We want to support the recruitment and development of FE teachers. This year we have launched our £5 million Taking Teaching Further programme to help attract talented and inspiring people with industry expertise to teach in FE. We have also announced our £8 million new bespoke professional development offer, T level Professional Development, to help existing teachers and leaders successfully deliver T levels.</p><p>​Further, we have recently commissioned research on identifying FE teacher comparators, and on incentive programmes for the recruitment and retention on FE teachers, to better inform our thinking. The reports, and the results of the College Staff Survey, are available at GOV.UK.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 17/12/2018 16:07:56 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The department is keen to ensure that all T level students will have access to high quality industry placements. The consultation on T levels, held earlier this year, asked how we can support all students to access industry placements relevant to their course in areas where there are not employers to offer industry placements nearby.</p><p>Feedback from the consultation and the industry placement pilot scheme last year helped identify what support is needed. We have provided nearly £60 million during this academic year to help post-16 providers to build their capacity to deliver industry placements in advance of T level roll-out. We are also working with the Department for Environment, Food &amp; Rural Affairs to understand how students in rural, coastal and remote areas can access industry placements.</p><p>We are also carrying out extensive stakeholder engagement across different challenging industries to ensure that industry placement policy generates placements that are meaningful and reflective of current industry practice, which will help to widen access to T levels in all parts of the country.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 05/11/2018 16:35:53 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
