Initial teacher training (ITT) providers must design their courses to enable trainees to meet The Teachers\u2019 Standards. These Standards set out the key elements of effective teaching and the minimum expectations for professional practice. In order to become a qualified teacher, trainees must satisfy the Standards, which include a requirement that they have a clear understanding of the needs of all pupils, and are able to use and evaluate distinctive teaching approaches to engage and support them.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department published the Framework of Core Content for ITT in July 2016 to further support effective training. The Framework advises that, \u201cITT providers should ensure Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) training is integrated across the ITT programme\u201d. The Department is currently undertaking an audit of SEND provision across ITT providers, which it will use to produce a best practice guide.<\/p>
<\/p>
On 28 January 2019, the Department published the Recruitment and Retention strategy and the Early Career Framework (ECF). The ECF provides a two-year improved support package for newly qualified teachers, providing them with support they need to help all pupils succeed and widen access for all - including pupils identified within the four areas of need set out in the SEND code of practice.<\/p>
<\/p>
Schools and headteachers are best placed to make specific decisions about how to support and improve their teachers, but the Department is assisting schools with this through the national network of teaching schools and the Standard for Teachers\u2019 Professional Development.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nick Gibb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-03-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-03-06T17:12:21.007Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-02-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Teachers: Training"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps he has taken to ensure that (a) people on teacher training courses are trained in dealing with children with additional learning needs and (b) sufficient on-going training is offered to qualified teachers to ensure that an adequate level of training is maintained.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/534", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Ruane"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Vale of Clwyd"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Chris Ruane"} ], "uin" : "227052"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1078462", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1078462/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Like all schools, maintained nursery schools (MNS) can close for a wide range of reasons, and closures can happen at any time. Whether a MNS closes or not is a matter for local authorities, and the statutory process for closing a MNS includes consultation with all those who have an interest. The department does not hold information on the reasons for closures.<\/p>
The department does not hold information on the number of children with special educational needs and disabilities who have been affected by MNS closures, as this is also a matter for local authorities. If a MNS does close, the provision that replaces it must be of equal quality, preserve expertise and be more accessible and convenient for parents.<\/p>
To ensure that local authorities can allocate places in MNS for the 2019/20 academic year with confidence, I announced on 28 February that the government would extend the supplementary funding paid to local authorities, by approximately £24 million. This enables them to fully-fund MNS for the whole of the 2019/20 academic year. What happens after that will be determined by the next Spending Review.<\/p>

The Government recognises the importance of broadband infrastructure for schools. The Department is working with industry and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to accelerate the full fibre internet connectivity rollout to all schools. In addition to this, The Department is supporting those schools most in need[1], which will not otherwise receive a timely upgrade through commercial routes. Hundreds of schools have been identified where connectivity will be accelerated by funding a new full fibre connection over the next two years, bringing schools, local communities and businesses onto an ultrafast, full fibre connection. As a result, fewer than 10 state funded mainstream schools in Merseyside are in areas that cannot guarantee connection speeds of over 30Mbps[2]. The numbers for Wirral and Wallasey are even lower and so harder to reliably estimate.<\/p>
The Department will be publishing an Education Technology strategy in the Spring, which will include how schools are being supported to overcome the barrier of internet connectivity to harness the opportunities of technology.<\/p>

The information on how much government funding is allocated in support of play for children in (a) after-school clubs, (b) holiday play schemes, (c) adventure playgrounds and (d) play-ranger services is not held centrally.<\/p> As outlined below, the department has invested millions of pounds in enabling all children to access and benefit from a range of enriching activities outside of school.<\/p> In the 2018 summer holidays we awarded £2 million to 7 organisations to ensure that disadvantaged children in some of the most deprived areas in the country could access free healthy food and enriching activities. In the 2019 summer holidays we will invest up to £9 million to explore how the local coordination of this sort of provision can help more disadvantaged children to access high quality programmes during the school holidays.<\/p> We have invested £22 million for the academic years 2017/18 and 2018/19 to enable disadvantaged children and young people living in some of the most deprived parts of the country to participate in regular extra-curricular activities (including after school and holiday provision) which will enable them to develop essential life skills and get the best start in life.<\/p> This Essential Life Skills (ELS) programme is targeting disadvantaged children and young people aged 5-18 across 12 Opportunity Areas. Within each Opportunity Area, local authorities are receiving grants to develop their own ELS programme to meet the needs of pupils and young people in their communities. It is up to the local partnership board in each Opportunity Area to decide what programmes and activities best meet the needs of children and young people in the area.<\/p> The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is formally responsible for ensuring local authorities secure services for young people over the age of 13 as set out in the section 507b of the Education Act (1996) (below that age local authorities have discretion). However, a number of DCMS programmes such as #iwill and the Youth Investment Fund do support organisations that provide 'youth and play' programmes to a broader age range than that provided for in the act.<\/p> The Department for Education had forecast that 20,000 part-time maintenance loans would be issued for the 2018-19 academic year.<\/p> <\/p> Further information can be found in Table 2 of the publication, Student loan forecasts, England: 2017-18:<\/p> https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/720371/Student_loan_forecasts_2017-18_-_tables.xlsx<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p> In January 2019, the Student Loans Company (SLC) published early in-year data on the payments of maintenance loans to part-time students domiciled in England. At the end of December 2019, 2,700 students had been paid a part-time maintenance loan.<\/p> <\/p> Further information can be found in Table 7F of the publication:<\/p> https://www.slc.co.uk/official-statistics/financial-support-awarded/england-higher-education.aspx<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p> The number of part-time maintenance loans issued was lower than had been forecast at this point in the academic year cycle and the demand for a loan product aimed at part-time distance learners is therefore unlikely to be high enough to make the introduction of such a loan economically viable.<\/p> <\/p> In light of this, I have decided not to extend maintenance loans to distance leaners in academic year 2019/20. The government remains committed to tackling the decline in part-time undergraduate higher education. In particular, the Review of Post-18 Education and Funding is considering how we can encourage learning that is more flexible, including part-time and distance learning. The review will report this year.<\/p> <\/p> The SCL will publish guidance relating to part-time maintenance in advance of the application process opening later this year.<\/p> <\/p>"}
