<p>There are multiple routes into teaching, including those returning to the profession,
those that are new to the English state-funded schools sector, assessment only, and
initial teacher training. Approximately 50% of teachers entering into the school workforce
each year are newly qualified, with the vast majority of them having been trained
via postgraduate initial teacher training (ITT) in the previous academic year.</p><p>Each
year the department sets a target for enrolment on postgraduate certificates in education
(PGCE) courses, with the majority of those students entering the teaching workforce
in the following year. This is the only route for which the department sets a recruitment
target, and this is calculated within the Teacher Workforce Model (TWM).</p><p>The
postgraduate ITT recruitment targets for those trainees starting in September of the
2024/25 academic year will be published as official statistics in the coming months.
However, it will be 2025/26 before those trainees enter into the workforce as newly
qualified entrants. The specific publication date will be announced in due course,
with all upcoming official statistics publications being announced via the department’s
statistics release calendar, which is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/search/research-and-statistics?content_store_document_type=upcoming_statistics&organisations%5B%5D=department-for-education&order=updated-newest"

on recruitment against the 2024/25 targets will be published in late 2024 as part
of the ITT census official statistics publication. Data on previous recruitment against
historical targets may be found within previously published versions of the ITT census.
The 2023/24 version of the census is available here: <a href="https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/initial-teacher-training-census/2023-24"

by the department’s TWM, is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/postgraduate-initial-teacher-training-targets-2023-to-2024"
