The available information is given in the table and shows the percentage of entrants to undergraduate Initial Teacher Training (ITT) courses by their highest qualification on entry. Qualifications included in the “Other” category might be higher than A/AS level so could include trainees who have A/AS levels. A percentage relating specifically to entrants with no qualifications at advanced level is therefore not available.
Undergraduate trainees only represent 24 per cent. of trainees on ITT courses (excluding employment based routes).
