Source: Institute for Government analysis of Department for Education, initial teacher training census, ‘ITT new entrants and targets by subject time series’ table, 2015/16–2021/22, supported by CIPFA. Notes: Underlying shortfall is calculated as the cumulative shortfall across individual subjects, ignoring over-recruitment in other subjects. Comparable figures are not available for 2009–10 and 2010–11. There was no shortfall in 2011–12. Since 2021–22 DfE has taken under-recruitment in the preceding two years into account in setting subject targets. Get the data Embed
