<p>To complete teacher training courses and become a qualified teacher, trainees must
meet the standards set out in the ‘teachers’ standards’ published in 2011, available
here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/teachers-standards" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/teachers-standards</a>.</p><p>This
requires trainees to demonstrate good subject and curriculum knowledge, including
taking responsibility for promoting high standards of literacy and the correct use
of standard English, whatever the teacher’s specialist subject.</p><p>The Department
published further guidance, ‘A framework of core content for initial teacher training’
(ITT), in July 2016. This guidance is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/initial-teacher-training-government-response-to-carter-review"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/initial-teacher-training-government-response-to-carter-review</a>.</p><p>The
framework sets out ITT providers’ responsibility to audit trainees’ subject knowledge
early in their training, and make provision to ensure that trainees have sufficient
subject knowledge to satisfy the teachers’ standards by the end of their training.</p><p>At
their most recent Ofsted inspection, 99% of all ITT providers were rated good or outstanding.</p><p>In
the Recruitment and Retention Strategy, published in January 2019, the Department
committed to reviewing ITT core content guidance using the Early Career Framework
as our starting point. Details of this can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/teacher-recruitment-and-retention-strategy"
