There were 4,335 salary and training grant places allocated by the Training and Development Agency for Schools and these represent 93 per cent. of all Graduate Teacher Programme places in academic year 2008/09.
Information about trainees who did not gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is only available for trainees in their final year of training. The tables show the number of final year ITT trainees for each academic year between 1998/99 and 2006/07 who did not gain QTS in their final year of training and of these the number who left their course before completion and the number where the outcome of QTS is unknown for:
1. Postgraduate ITT trainees
2. Undergraduate ITT trainees
3. Employment Based Routes (EBR) trainees
Information relating to the number of trainees through mainstream courses gaining QTS is only available from 1998/99 onwards. The same information for trainees on employment based routes was only collected from 2001/02 onwards. Figures relating to 2007/08 will be available in July 2009.
