Notes |
Some types of entry listed within Student.INITIATIVES are associated with those above e.g. Student.INITIATIVES valid entry P 'Abridged ITT course' is a subset of Student.ENTRYRTE valid entry 03 'School Direct salaried'. School Direct Training ProgrammeSchool Direct Training Programme records must now be coded using valid entries 02 'School Direct tuition fee' or 03 'School Direct salaried'. Provider-ledThis should include any other courses, that are not Early Years Initial Teacher Training or School Direct Training Programmes. Also known as "Core", "Mainstream" or "Provider-led"/ Information on the differing routes into teaching can be found at the Get into Teaching website. Undergraduate Opt-inUndergraduate students on select courses now have the option to additionally incorporate Initial Teacher Training (ITT) into their course, leading to the recommendation of qualified teacher status (QTS). NCTL will be funding these students in their ITT year(s), and HEFCE will not. Therefore, HEPs will be required to record these students from the first year of the commencement of their ITT course within the ITT record. These students will be eligible for an Undergradaute Bursary (Student.BURSLEV = B). Students in maths, physics, computing or languages that commence their ‘opt-in’ ITT course in academic year 2017 to 2018 will receive a bursary from the NCTL. Those on a Bachelor’s course will receive £9,000 in their final year, those on an opt-in course that leads to a Masters qualification will receive £9,000 in their penultimate and final year. To ensure bursaries are received in the correct academic year it is important that records reflect the year of undergraduate study the student is on, the length of the course and if the course leads to a Bachelor’s or Masters degree. The above 'Opt-in' scheme should NOT be confused with another Undergraduate bursary which is available for trainees on courses in secondary mathematics and physics that lead to QTS. That bursary is available to undergraduate trainees who enroll on a QTS course beginning in the 2017 to 2018 academic year (as opposed to those who 'opt-in' part way through their undergraduate study). These trainees will qualify for an undergraduate bursary (Student.BURSLEV valid entry B 'Undergraduate bursary') but should NOT be recorded with Student.ENTRYRTE valid entry 09 'Undergraduate Opt-in' in order to distinguish them. See Student.BURSLEV for more information on how to code Undergraduate bursaries. |
