This table provides information about first year enrolments on courses of Initial Teacher Training (ITT) leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) by students ordinarily resident in Wales at UK Higher Education Institutions.

To teach as a qualified teacher in a maintained school or non-maintained special school in Wales or England, students need to obtain QTS. Students can do this by either undertaking a first degree course which combines a degree - usually a BEd, BA or BSc - with QTS or by completing a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) course which leads to QTS. There are alternative employment-based routes to obtaining QTS but these are not covered in this bulletin.

The data included here are taken from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) Student Record and cover enrolments at December 1st. From 2007/08 the December population did not include those students who are on sabbatical or writing-up.

Figures have been rounded to the nearest 5.

Data reference periods

Figures represent enrolments at December 1st and have been rounded to the nearest 5.

Users, uses and context

Each year the Welsh Government sets intake targets for recruitment to ITT courses in Wales. There has been a year on year decline in first year enrolments on ITT courses in Wales in recent years, but this must be viewed in the context of the policy to reduce the number of new entrants to ITT courses. In 2011/12 the intake targets were reduced to 750 enrolments for Primary phase and 1,030 for Secondary phase.

Rounding applied

Data are rounded to the nearest 5.

Statistical quality

Care should be taken when comparing data on all students over time since courses lengths can vary. For example, many previously 4 year first degree courses are now 3 year courses. From 2007/08 the December population did not include those students who are on sabbatical or writing-up.
