We extended this offer to higher education providers in June.</p><p> </p><p>Since they were initially agreed, we have agreed increases to higher education institution (HEI) allocations for a number of reasons. For example, we allocated more places in physics and mathematics throughout the year and we also allowed transfers between particular subjects.

star this property answer text <p>We use the teacher supply model (TSM) to estimate the optimum number of teacher trainees required to start in any academic year. The TSM models trainees across the primary phase; it does not distinguish between early years, primary specialists and other individual primary courses. A technical description of the TSM is published online at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/teacher-supply-model-a-technical-description" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/teacher-supply-model-a-technical-description</a></p><p>The number of places allocated is not a target and should not be regarded as one. This year, as we do every year, we have over-allocated initial teacher training (ITT) places above the number of required trainees estimated by the TSM. This helps us to ensure we train enough teachers, taking account of the likely level of recruitment in each subject.</p><p>We have published data showing the number of places allocated in each subject. This is published online at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-training-allocations-for-academic-year-2014-to-2015" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-training-allocations-for-academic-year-2014-to-2015</a></p><p>UCAS has published recruitment information for the 2014/15 academic year by subject. This includes data on primary courses and is published online at:</p><p><a href="http://www.ucas.com/data-analysis/ucas-teacher-training-statistical-releases" target="_blank">www.ucas.com/data-analysis/ucas-teacher-training-statistical-releases</a></p><p>It is important to note that the UCAS Teacher Training scheme is new this year and it is not possible to make a direct comparison with recruitment data from previous years.</p><p>Recruitment figures from the 2013/14 ITT Census are published online at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/initial-teacher-training-allocations-for-academic-year-2013-to-2014-final" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/initial-teacher-training-allocations-for-academic-year-2013-to-2014-final</a></p><p>We will publish statistics from the census of 2014/15 trainees in November.</p>
