To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list the local education authorities participating in (a) the licensed teacher schemes and (b) the articled teacher schemes, with the number of trainees in every case, and the estimated cost per place, together with an estimate of the cost of training, by postgraduate, of certificate of education and bachelor of education route.
Licensed teachers are appointed by local education authorities and schools to specific posts, and the nature and the cost of the training to be provided will depend on the needs of the individual teachers appointed.The training costs of licensed teachers are eligible for support under the local education authorities training grants scheme. Table A lists the local education authorities which are to receive support for licensed teacher training and associated costs in the financial year 1990–91. The amount of eligible expenditure to be supported, the number of licensed teachers expected to be supported and the average training costs implied by this for the financial year are also shown in each case. However, local education authorities and schools may appoint licensed teachers beyond these.Consortia of local education authorities and initial teacher training institutions were invited to submit bids to run articled teacher pilot schemes in June 1989. The number of places allocated to successful consortia is listed in table B, together with the participating local education authorities and the estimated costs per student.The annual cost of PGCE and BEd places varies considerably from institution to institution. For the 1991–92 academic year the guide price for initial teacher training places applied by the UFC is £3,500, which includes the tuition fee but excludes any research costs. Institutions in the PCFC sector have been advised that, as an upper reference point, the mean unit of funding in 1990–91 is £1,950 and that they should assume that they will receive through the tuition fee £2,500 for a band 2 student (which includes PGCE students and some BEd students) and £1,675 for a band 1 student. Both the UFC and the PCFC sector figures exclude provision for student maintenance.
