DFE_0272_2324-Q2 Early Years Childcare Reform Programme DFE Government Transformation and Service Delivery The Programme comprises of four overarching projects; Families, Providers, Local Authorities and Wraparound, led by SCS SROs and supported by a dedicated Project Manager and PMO resource who collaborate with the central PMO. The aim of the programme is to increase parental employment and progression of earnings by increasing childcare access for eligible working parents. We have had the programme business case agreed and signed off by InvestCo. Amber Not set The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 is Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. An IPA Gate 0 review in Mar 24 gave the programme an amber rating. This was broken down as green for the first stage of roll out (Apr 24), amber for Sep 24 expansion and red for the Sep 25 expansion. The review recognised the hard work of staff to achieve several challenging milestones. Relationship management with local authorities and stakeholders internally and externally was praised. There were also some clear recommendations on the resource and capability needed in key aspects of the programme including the PMO, Insights Unit and Communications. We continue the work to strengthen these areas with focus on skilled resources and refreshing the governance. Our delivery has remained on track since the first 'live' milestone in Apr 24. We have continued to progress key activities across the programme including system development, operational infrastructure, and legislation to ensure the sector is ready for the expansion. 2023-03-16 2028-12-01 The project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 is 2028-12-01. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme end data is Dec 2028 this is primarily due to the plan to transform reforms to childcare for parents, children, the economy and women. By 2027-28, this Government will expect to be spending in excess of 8bn every year on free hours and early education, helping working families with their childcare costs. This represents the single biggest investment in childcare in England ever. The programme is on track to complete by its stated end date. 342.8 342.8 0.0 The budget variance is inferior or equal to 5%. 15135 The project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 is 15135m. This is primarily due to the following factors. The whole-life programme cost is 15.1bn (which extends to financial year 2027-28) including both the delivery of the expansion (565.2m) and the additional entitlement funding (14.6bn). This overall funding envelope and specific project budgets are based on a pre-announcement estimation of likely delivery costs. As the programme matures, planning and policy is developed, and individual business cases prepared, more accurate budget needs and financial year profiles will be agreed. 0 The project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 is 0m. The project's departmental-agreed monetised benefits at Q4 FY23/24 is 0m. Benefits are currently being defined.
DFE_0015_2021-Q3 FE Capital Transformation DFE Infrastructure and Construction The FE capital transformation fund was launched in 2020 to upgrade and transform college estates and create modern, fit-for-purpose spaces that meet the needs of students and communities they serve which was part of the government's manifesto commitment. Delivery was split into three phases: phase 1 gave grant allocations to all eligible FE colleges for urgent repairs and improvements; phase 2 is a DfE centrally delivered rebuilding programme to tackle 16 of the sites in worst condition; phase 3 uses grant funding to support colleges procuring rebuilding and improvement works on their existing estates. The scope of building works across the projects delivered varies greatly, some requiring full rebuilds and some smaller projects carrying out much needed refurbishments and renewal of life-expired building components. Some projects are integral to wider local regeneration initiatives. Amber Not set Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. The Delivery Confidence Assessment is Amber. Delivery is split into 3 phases, Phase 1 is complete and Phase 2 and 3 are progressing well albeit slightly delayed compared to original forecasts. Managing cost pressure is a key challenge across the programme due to inflationary and market pressures, however active engagement with key stakeholders is supporting the programme affordability challenges and enabling positive progress. 2020-04-01 2026-03-31 Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 increased from 2025-06-30 to 2026-03-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme comprises multiple rebuilding projects across college campus sites nationwide. We anticipate nearly all projects will be in construction by June 2025, with the new and improved facilities becoming operational by March 2027, to support the government's commitment to level up skills and training opportunities for people across the country. 0.0 0.0 Not set Exempt under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests) - Commercial interests.

DFE_0173_2223-Q2 Higher Technical Education DFE Government Transformation and Service Delivery The Higher Technical Education reform programme aim to raise the quality and uptake of Level 4/5 technical courses, with Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) as a flagship offer and credible alternative to traditional three-year degrees. These reforms are underpinned by the findings of the independent Sainsbury Review and form part of a wider suite of technical education reforms, including T Levels and Apprenticeships. Amber Not set The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 is Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. There has been significant progress across the programme. However, this is a long-term endeavour to reform the Level 4/5 market and change entrenched perceptions and behaviours over a decade. 2019-10-01 2027-09-01 Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained schedule to finish on 2027-09-01. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme schedule remains achievable. 56.4 47.8 -15.0 The budget variance exceeds 5%. The budget variance exceeds 5% 176 Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 remained at 176m. This is primarily due to the following factors. 0 The project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 is 0m. As our reforms go through the early stages of delivery, with the first teaching of HTQs this academic year, we've updated our monitoring & evaluation and benefits realisation strategies. The benefit of HTE reforms is greater uptake of high-quality HTE generally and HTQs specifically. In April, we will be agreeing learner number trajectories for L4/5 and HTQ uptake with Ministers, as well as further developing or leading indicators.
DFE_0051_2122-Q3 Initial Teacher Training Market Review (ITT) DFE Government Transformation and Service Delivery The government commissioned an Expert Advisory Group to review the Initial Teacher Training (ITT) market to address issues around quality and inconsistency. The review's recommendations, which the government has accepted, aim to increase the quality and consistency of ITT in a more effective market. The ITT Reform programme has been set up to implement the recommendations. The programme will ensure that ITT providers adopt a series of new 'Quality Requirements', which were assessed during a market-wide re-accreditation process that started in February 2022. This was followed by improvement support and readiness checks beginning in November 2022, with the aim of ensuring the market delivers reformed ITT to trainees from September 2024. The reform is also designed to complement ongoing reforms to improve teaching quality, including the new Core Content Framework, Early Career Framework and National Professional Qualifications. The programme is on track to deliver the reformed ITT from September 2024. Not set Green Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 decreased from Amber to Green. This is primarily due to the following factors. The ITT Reform programme is on track to deliver reformed ITT for trainees from September 2024. The Stage 1 accreditation process is complete with 179 providers accredited to deliver ITT from September 2024. In February 2024, ITT census data and intelligence from providers and the sector showed an estimate of 97% of ITT provision retained overall compared to 2021/22 levels, across both primary and secondary ITT. The curriculum check concluded in October 2023. the final assessment of readiness of providers to deliver key elements of the reforms completed in March 2024 with the analysis to be available in April 2024. Additional time is being considered to be given to selected providers until June to finalise their readiness. Analytical resource has begun to develop evaluation plan in March 2024, to receive ministerial approval in April-May 2024. Programme has been de-escalated from Amber to Green in February. IPA have reclassified programme as a Tier B GMPP programme given progress made and the reduced risk agreed in the latest potential assessment 2021-11-10 2024-09-30 Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained schedule to finish on 2024-09-30. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme is on track for completion in Sep 24. A Gate 5 closure review is scheduled for Jul 24 and a target Operating Model has been developed as part of the formal closure for the transition and handover to business-as-usual teams. 11.36 7.88 -31.0 Key factors for variance are: _x000D_ - the budget has an element of demand-led costs through grants, with actual spend being 192k lower than the baseline._x000D_ - External User Research team that originally was planned to deliver work over 2 financial years, has delivered and concluded work in one year (finishing last FY) and therefore causing a variance of c. 1.3m underspend._x000D_ - Associate support to providers that played a key role in market interventions, support to providers and intel gathering have not been included in the baseline._x000D_ Capital spending originally delayed until FY 24/25 has been brought forward to FY 23/24 to allow onboarding of resource to build track and pay system in FY 24/25 and subsequent roll out in AY 24/25. 56 Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 remained at 56m. This is primarily due to the following factors. Programme costs are made up of a combination of projected grant costs, capital costs and programme funded staff. 0 The project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 is 0m. Compared to FY22/23, the programme's departmental-agreed monetised benefits at FYY23/24 remained at 0m.
DFE_0016_2021-Q3 Institutes of Technology (IoT) 2 DFE Government Transformation and Service Delivery IoTs are collaborations between FE providers, HE providers and employers, harnessing the strengths of each to help boost productivity and economic growth and widen participation from learners of all backgrounds. The focus is the delivery of higher-level technical skills with a focus on subjects such as STEM (e.g., Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) at levels 4 and 5 and extending to level 6+, tailored to the skills needs of their local areas. IoTs will anticipate future workplace skills needs and effectively leverage research and innovation bases, in both the provider base and industry. There were two waves of IoTs, the competition was in 2018, with the first IoTs licenced in academic year 2019/20. The second wave competition was launched in 2020 and the first wave 2 IoTs opened in September 2023. Not set Amber Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. We are in delivery phrase and are working with successful wave 2 bidders to complete the rollout and be open to learners by September 2024. Wave 2 capital funding totalled 130m and projects are ongoing. We are on budget, and this is being monitored closely. 2020-01-01 2025-03-31 Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 decreased from 2026-01-01 to 2025-03-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. This end date is a correction from an error in previous returns which gave a project end date in 2026. 60.53 60.53 0.0 The budget variance is inferior or equal to 5%. 138 Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 6m. to 138m. This is primarily due to the following factors. This corrects an error in previous returns which incorrectly gave a Whole Life Cost figure of 6m. 0 The project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 is 0m. Compared to FY22/2, the project's departmental-agreed monetised benefits at FY23/24 remained at 130m.
DFE_0109_2223-Q1 Lifelong Learning Entitlement DFE Government Transformation and Service Delivery The Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE) proposed to introduce a new student finance system from 2025, co-designed with the Student Loans Company (SLC). The LLE will provide individuals with a loan entitlement to the equivalent of 4 years of post-18 education to use over their working lives (e.g. 37,000 in today's fees) up until the age of 60. It will be available for both full years of study at higher technical and degree levels, as well as, for the first time, for modules of high-value courses, regardless of whether they are provided in colleges or universities. Under this flexible skills system, people will be able to space out their studies and learn at a pace that is right for them, including choosing to build up their qualifications over time, within both FE and HE providers. They will have a real choice in how and when they study to acquire new life-changing skills. The LLE also aims to create a more streamlined funding system and make it easier for students to navigate the options available Amber Not set The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 is Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. An IPA assurance review in Feb 24 recognised the journey towards the LLE's introduction is ambitious and the programme must ensure all of its constituent parts are functional and operational upon launch. In recognition of the complexity of the programme and the challenges of launching a new system impacting hundreds of thousands of learners, the Conservative Government opted to move to a phased rollout of the LLE from Sep 25, with courses starting from Jan 26. 2020-09-30 2027-12-31 The project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 is 2027-12-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. Compared to 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date changed from 31 December 2025 to 31 December 2027. This is primarily due to the government allowing providers longer to prepare for registration with OfS, which they need to do to access the LLE. In the LLE consultation response, published in March 2023, the Government asked OfS to develop a third category of registration to provide an appropriate approach for smaller providers typically offering level 4 and 5 qualifications. Subject to consultation, this would have included transitional arrangements for providers from 2025 to 2027. To support this, the government is extending existing advanced learner loan funding for a further 2 years, until 2027, for providers who have not registered with OfS under either of the 2 existing categories. The programme end date has therefore moved out. Overall the programme is making good progress on the schedule, moving at pace to lay the required secondary legislation and develop the LLE systems. Students will be able to apply for LLE courses from September 2025, for courses starting from January 2026. 0.0 17.59 inf The GMPP project did not provide data 0 The project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 is 0m. This is primarily due to the following factors. The project's Whole Life Costs have not yet been agreed by the department. 0 The project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 is 0m. The project's monetised benefits have not yet been agreed by the department.
DFE_0020_2021-Q4 National Tutoring programme DFE Government Transformation and Service Delivery The National Tutoring Programme (NTP) is a multi-year programme, with the key objective of sustaining a high-quality tutoring market and embedding a culture of schools using tutoring support for their pupils. The programme was established as part of the Department for Education's Recovery Strategy which aimed to reduce the extent of lost learning caused by disruption from COVID-19. Not set Green The Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 is Green. This is primarily due to the following factors. This delivery confidence is based on structured closure plans and planned risk mitigations monitored monthly via the NTP Programme board. Significant progress has been made across the programme since the IPA assurance review to support schools with planning and delivering tutoring in future. Provisional data from the AY23/24 Spring School Census shows around 660,500 courses started as of Jan 24. This puts the programme ahead of its Year 4 trajectory (+35%). It also means the programme has now exceeded its lifetime target of 5 million courses, having already delivered 4.6 million in the first three years. 2020-07-01 2024-07-31 Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained schedule to finish on 2024-07-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme is on track for completion in Aug 24. Programme closure has started and will continue until Mar 25, to allow for the clawback (recovery) of funding which will take place from Autumn Term 24 to Spring term 25. Planning is underway for the final Gate 5 IPA review, scheduled for Sep 24. The NTP Programme Board has agreed a post-closure plan to conclude all delivery and formally close the programme. 250.2 110.2 -56.0 The budget variance exceeds 5%. The budget variance exceeds 5%. _x000D_ _x000D_ NTP's variance to baseline is 56% and is primarily due to the clawback mechanism. The funding conditions set by HMT dictate that any funding not spent by schools should be recovered by the Department for Education. Funding may be unspent as a result of schools not making full use of money provided to them, which has occurred despite the delivery target having been met. Schools have delivered the targeted number of courses at lower cost by making use of the flexibilities built into the programme's funding arrangements There are also smaller underspends realised in the programme's delivery costs. 1125 Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 remained at 1125m. This is primarily due to the following factors. We are now projecting the Whole Life Cost of the project will be 655m. The underspend against the originally allocated budget is mainly a result of schools not making full use of funding provided to them across the lifetime of the programme. The figure provided takes account of expected funding recovery for the final year of the programme, which will take place in Jan 25. 0 The project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 is 0m. The programmes monetised benefits for FY23/24 remain at 0m.
DFE_0018_2021-Q3 School Rebuilding Programme DFE Infrastructure and Construction The School Rebuilding Programme (SRP) is undertaking major rebuilding and refurbishment projects targeted at school and sixth form college buildings in the worst condition across England. The programme was announced by the PM in June 2020. The number of projects in the 10-year programme was confirmed at SR 2020, with a commitment to 500 projects (50 per year). An initial programme budget was agreed with HMT in May 2021 (HMT confirmation letter was received in July 2021) as part of the programme's clearance through the Treasury Approval Process (TAP), with funding up to FY2024-25 confirmed at SR21. Amber Not set Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. On 8 February, we announced the funding route for all schools and colleges with RAAC confirmed in their buildings - meaning we currently have 513 schools in the programme. There is a possibility that the number of RAAC cases increases but we expect the number of any further cases to be low. We now have 218 projects in delivery for the programme and at the beginning of April, we have entered into contract on 54 and handed over 10 projects. This means we met our targets for the number of projects to enter into contract award for the financial spend forecasts for the 2023/24 financial year. We are currently reviewing the prioritisation of the remaining 295 projects, including those that joined the programme on the 8 February, these remaining projects being previously selected schools and RAAC schools, as well schools facing serious structural safety issues, entering SRP. 2020-11-01 2036-03-31 The project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 is 2036-03-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme scheduled end date was updated to reflect the programme financial forecasts. 0.0 0.0 Not set ARMP adjustments - Project not yet in a position to give cost/schedule ARMP adjustments - Project not yet in a position to give cost/schedule ARMP adjustments - Project not yet in a position to give cost/schedule ARMP adjustments - Project not yet in a position to give cost/schedule ARMP adjustments - Project not yet in a position to give cost/schedule
DFE_0017_2021-Q3 Skills Bootcamps DFE Government Transformation and Service Delivery Skills Bootcamps are free training courses for adults typically lasting up to 16 weeks, available across a range of sectors. They help people develop priority skills that are in demand at both local and national level. They are developed by training providers in partnership with employers. Significant investment has been committed by the government to scale up Skills Bootcamps from 2022 to 2025. Not set Amber The Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 is Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. The Infrastructure Project Authority has not yet communicated a Delivery Confidence Assessment to the project. (We expect to schedule an IPA Gateway review in summer 2024.) The SRO's DCA is Amber. The Skills Bootcamps programme remains broadly on schedule, with learner starts continuing to exceed targets, though volatility in the supplier market creates risk. Work is underway both to improve the programme's underlying data architecture to support delivery at greater scale, and to work with suppliers to drive up quality of provision. 2020-04-01 2026-05-29 The project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 is 2026-05-29. This is primarily due to the following factors. Compared to 2223-Q4, the scheduled project end-date has changed from 31 MAR 2024 to 29 MAY 2026. This is primarily due to: gaining approval and funding for a further round of Skills Bootcamps delivery commencing 1 FEB 2024 and expected to conclude 28 FEB 2026; work to improve the programme's underlying data architecture underway and scheduled to conclude 30 APR 2025. The data architecture work is expected to deliver a more stable, longer-term delivery solution for Skills Bootcamps that will enable the programme to offboard from the GMPP, subject to further approval. 200.0 154.7 -23.0 The budget variance exceeds 5%. The budget variance exceeds 5%. The delivery profile for the programme in FY 2023-24 was based on initial estimates that have now been revised in our latest forecasts. 640 The project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 is 640m. This is primarily due to the following factors. 00 (m) to 640.25 (m). This is primarily due to the following factors: 1) the whole-life cost reported last year was based on initial estimates that have now been revised in our latest forecasts and revised in the latest business case. 0 The project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 23/24-Q4 is 0m.

DFE_0010_1819-Q1 T Level Programme DFE Government Transformation and Service Delivery The current IPA Delivery Confidence Assessment for the T Level programme is AMBER, following the Gate 0 review of the programme in March 2024. The review team was impressed with the leadership and management of the T Levels programme, while noting that challenges remain in terms of growing the programme. To address these challenges and to support the programme to scale up, the programme team will: - continue to review and revise its approach to supporting the growing number and variety of providers - continue to focus on increasing employer awareness and engagement with T Levels - ensure a clear route from T Levels to the Advanced British Standard. Amber Not set Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 decreased from Red to Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. The current Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating for the T Level Programme is amber following a Gate 0 review in Mar 24. T While the review team was impressed with the leadership and management of the T Levels programme, they noted that challenges remain in terms of scaling up the programme. To address these challenges, the programme team was advised to review and revise its approach to supporting the growing number and variety of providers and continue to focus on increasing employer awareness and engagement with T Levels. The programme team has engaged stakeholders to review these recommendations and to develop a comprehensive action plan to address them. 2016-10-25 2023-09-30 Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained schedule to finish on 2023-09-30. This is primarily due to the following factors. The change in date from 30 September 2023 to 01 September 2028 is a result of the updated Business Case (December 2023). The change reflects when the programme will move to business as usual, once all planned T Levels have been delivered to at least one cohort of students. 342.0 249.2 -27.0 The budget variance exceeds 5%.

DFE_0014_2021-Q2 Teacher Development Reform Programme DFE Government Transformation and Service Delivery The Teacher Development Reform (TDR) Programme is part of the DfE Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy, referenced in the DfE White Paper published in March 2022, 'Opportunity for all: strong schools with great teachers for your child'. The TDR Programme includes, the Early Career Framework (ECF), National Professional Qualifications (NPQ) and National Institute of Teaching (IoT) projects. These exciting innovations are part of the investment in our teachers and leaders which include; a new two year induction for Early Career Teachers (ECT), with mentors trained and provided to support those new teachers and; new Specialist NPQs and reforms to our existing Leadership NPQs. Alongside this, the National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) has started delivery of ITT, the ECF and NPQs and is making strong progress in the delivery of its research and best practice programme. Not set Green Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 decreased from Amber to Green. This is primarily due to the following factors. The Teacher Development Reform Programme delivery confidence assessment is rated Green. This reflects all TDR sub-programmes and projects: Early Career Framework (ECF), National Professional Qualifications (NPQ) and the National Institute of Teaching. This delivery confidence is based on a recent IPA gateway review and approved business cases, structured delivery plans and planned risk mitigations monitored in line with a clear TDR risk management strategy. Significant progress has been made across the programme, with the successful publication of the Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework (ITTECF) review and new NPQs delivered. Leading Primary Maths launched in February 2024, and a SENCo NPQ will launch in Autumn 2024. 2018-11-01 2026-02-12 Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 remained schedule to finish on 2026-02-12. This is primarily due to the following factors. Project schedule remains on track for delivery in line with the current plan. 242.29 219.91 -9.0 The budget variance exceeds 5%. The programme is recording a -9% variance primarily due to the variance occuring within variable budgets reliant on recruitment figures. Measures however have been used to minimise possible variations from the previous financial year and will continue to be implemented as the programme behins to mature. 750 Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 decreased from 761m. to 750m. This is primarily due to the following factors. At Q4 FY23/24 the programme expects Whole Life Costs to be c.627.79m. This is a variance of -17% compared to the baseline Whole Life Costs. This is primarily due to the demand led nature of the programme and an end of year accrual not meeting tightened assurance requirements that resulted in a significant programme underspend in FY23/24 as all grant budgets were delayed by a year compared to baseline. 0 Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree monetised benefits at 2324-Q4 decreased from 8m. to 0m. In FY23/24 we reported a total of 24.13m as a cash releasing monetisable benefit for Teaching School Hubs, and 72m as a non-cash releasing monetised benefit for the Early Career Framework. This is an increase on the previous FY 22/23 where we reported monetised benefits of 8m. We report benefits on an annual basis through our benefits report using data from the Teacher Workforce Census and other sources with the next report due in Q3 24/25 The Early Career Framework features a monetisable non-cash releasing measure: 1%age point reduction in the proportion of teachers leaving at the end of Year 2 by end 2026 (2 yrs post ECF induction). Based on data collected through the Schools Workforce Census, we have seen a 2% decrease in teacher wastage, and therefore will need to train less teachers in future. Training less teachers leads to the saving of 72m. Data reported here is 'working-towards' data to give an indication of future direction - we expect the benefit to be fully realised in 2024.
