<p>The proposals in the English Baccalaureate consultation launched on 3 November
imply an increase in the numbers of teachers of languages needed. The EBacc-related
increase is over and above the additional teachers needed to keep up with the rise
in the secondary school pupil population.</p><br /><p>We will forecast the demand
for additional Modern Foreign Language teachers following the conclusion of the consultation.
This will give us a better understanding of how schools plan to respond to the resulting
workforce requirements from 2017/18.</p><br /><p>The Department does this, in part,
by adding policy assumptions into the Teacher Supply Model (TSM), which informs the
Initial Teacher Training (ITT) targets each year.</p><br /><p>More details as to how
the policy assumption process is managed within the TSM itself, along with some previous
examples, can be found in both the 2016/17 TSM and the accompanying user guide.</p>
