The Education Committee has decided to hold a short inquiry to follow up its 2012 report Great teachers: attracting, training and retaining the best, focussing primarily on the School Direct programme and on proposals for a College of Teaching. Details of oral evidence will be announced in due course.
The Committee inviteds brief written comments on developments in the past year, and issues associated with:
- Proposals for a College of Teaching
- School Direct
The one-off evidence session announced for 9 July 2013 into School Direct recruitment for 2013/14 has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. Instead, the Committee will explore issues relating to this subject during the evidence session planned for the autumn as part of its follow up to the 2012 report on Great Teachers: Attracting, training and retaining the best.
