The following table provides estimates for the number of teachers needed in each academic year from 2016/17 to 2020/21. This need for teachers will be met through a combination of new trainees, those returning to the profession and those entering the state-funded sector in England for the first time.<\/p>

The National College of Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) use this information to inform their allocation of ITT places to teacher training providers.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The estimates for the future demand for teachers use the projected number of pupils in schools, assumed Pupil Teacher Ratios (PTRs) and our best estimates for the number of teachers required to implement the Department\u2019s policy initiatives. The model also takes into account other flows within the existing stock of teachers such as those leaving the profession or retiring as well as those expected to return to teaching in the state-funded sector.<\/p> <\/p> The Department forecasts the need for teacher trainees one year in advance in line with the annual ITT allocation decisions. However, the TSM also forecasts teacher demand over ten years to provide an overview of long term trends.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Whilst the Department estimates future teacher demand, decision-making taken at school level determines the actual number of teachers required. As with any forecast, the uncertainty increases the further we look into the future.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Full-time<\/p><\/td> 9,250<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Part-time<\/p><\/td> 4,250<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Unknown [1]<\/p><\/td> 5,100<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Total<\/p><\/td> 18,600<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Source: Teachers\u2019 Pensioner Statistical System.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Figures are provisional and are rounded to the nearest 10.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> [1] Type of last service is unknown as the teacher left service sometime before the pension award.<\/p> <\/p>"}
