<p>The number of employment-based early years trainees for whom the department provided
early years initial teacher training (ITT) funding in academic years 2016/17 and 2017/18
is as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Academic year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number
of early years ITT trainees</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>451</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>431</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>For all trainees shown above, both the training grant and employer incentive
was provided.</p><p>We are unable to provide any data collected prior to the academic
year 2016/17. A review of early years ITT data found that prior to the academic year
2016/17, data was not collected with sufficient quality to produce high quality statistics.</p><p>
</p><p>Further information about this and the subsequent actions put in place by the
department, can be found in the ‘Data collection and quality’ section of the ITT Census
2017/18, found here at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-training-trainee-number-census-2017-to-2018"
