of trainee teachers has been consistently below target. <br \/>Data source: HESA Student Record.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Rebecca Williams, deputy general secretary of the UCAC teachers&#8217; union, said: \u201cWe are extremely concerned about the reduction in the number of trainee teachers year after year. The education system in Wales is already finding it difficult to recruit in specific subject areas, particularly in the Welsh-medium sector, and it looks as though this is going to get worse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Ms Williams explained that she feels part of the problem is the Welsh Government being slow to &#8220;get to grips with the implications&#8221; of declining trainee teacher numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is also a problem in terms of the perception of the profession and the level and nature of the workload involved,\u201d said Ms Williams. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>This said, Ms Williams explained there have been some positive changes such as more flexible routes into teaching through part-time and employment-based training.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur education system needs teachers and we need to\nmake the profession attractive to people with a talent and passion for\neducating. We need to be continually creative in the approaches we take to\nensure the best for the children and young people of Wales,\u201d said Ms Williams. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>A trainee teacher from Carmarthen, who wished to remain anonymous, said: \u201cThe only downside about being a teacher, that I have experienced during placements, is the workload. Even though a typical school day is 9am \u2013 3pm, resource making and marking books can sometimes carry on until late in the night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome students from my course have dropped out\nbecause of the workload,\u201d they added. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>They also said that they felt more support provided\nby teaching assistants could be a good way to reduce this workload and make\nteaching a more desirable profession. <\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1009\" height=\"650\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ITE-Entrants-per-Academic-Year.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/07\/ITE-Entrants-per-Academic-Year.png 1009w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/07\/ITE-Entrants-per-Academic-Year-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/07\/ITE-Entrants-per-Academic-Year-770x496.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/07\/ITE-Entrants-per-Academic-Year-500x322.png 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/07\/ITE-Entrants-per-Academic-Year-293x189.png 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1009px) 100vw, 1009px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1009\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ITE-Entrants-per-Academic-Year.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/07\/ITE-Entrants-per-Academic-Year.png 1009w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/07\/ITE-Entrants-per-Academic-Year-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/07\/ITE-Entrants-per-Academic-Year-770x496.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/07\/ITE-Entrants-per-Academic-Year-500x322.png 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/07\/ITE-Entrants-per-Academic-Year-293x189.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1009px) 100vw, 1009px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Numbers of those enrolled on ITE courses have continued to decline since 2004. <br \/>Data source: Welsh Government.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>A newly qualified teacher from Tredegar, who wished to remain anonymous, said: \u201cSome of my friends have left the profession as they were not comfortable delivering some aspects of the curriculum that had a huge focus on data rather than children\u2019s wellbeing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>They explained that some teachers feel that children are tested too much and individual needs are not always considered. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>They suggested that bursaries for trainee teachers could encourage young people to take up the profession.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cTeacher training has major expectations, and most cannot have a part time job on the side,\u201d they said. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Another teacher from Llandudno, said they felt &#8220;on the job&#8221; training could encourage more people to take up teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is an academic standard that trainee teachers have to meet and this shouldn\u2019t be compromised, but I think routes into teaching need to reflect 21<sup>st<\/sup> century attitudes and adapt to support those who are passionate and eager to develop their career,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Neil Butler, NASUWT\u2019s (teacher\u2019s union) national official for Wales, said he felt the declining numbers were due to the Welsh Government&#8217;s failure to ensure teachers&#8217; salaries were competitive with other graduate jobs and to address excessive workloads. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cWithout action to improve salaries and working conditions, Wales will find it increasingly difficult to recruit the number of teachers it needs each year to ensure every child and young person receives the high-quality education they are entitled to,&#8221; said Mr Butler.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The Education Workforce Council (an independent regulator) have begun work with the Welsh Government to help promote careers in education professions. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>An EWC\nspokesperson said: \u201cRecruitment to primary school teacher training in Wales remains vibrant.\nHowever, most countries in the world have seen a decline in secondary school\ntrainees in recent years, in particular in subjects such as Mathematics, the\nsciences and modern foreign languages. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cWales has\nexperienced similar challenges, and the Welsh Government is working closely\nwith initial teacher education partnerships and other stakeholders to seek to\naddress this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Primary and secondary schools below their target, warns union THE number of new trainee teachers in Wales is declining and below target according to data recently released by the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
