ITT C21053: Supplementary Notification of changes
The following information outlines the changes to the ITT record that will be implemented for 2021/22. The full technical specification will be published in April 2021.
There is also a section which details, in advance, a schema change which will be implemented in ITT C22053.

INITIATIVES - Initiatives
L Primary General (with Maths)
From the 2020/21 year onwards, Primary General (with Maths) is no longer an active initiative. The DfE have advised that providers who have continuing students that were previously on this scheme, to remove these for C21053. This is to improve the accuracy of the data by reducing the possibility of miss-categorisation with a similar, existing scheme ‘Primary mathematics specialist’.
Addition of Valid Entries
BURSLEV - Bursary level award
D Postgraduate bursary
This code will be added to BURSLEV for C21053. This bursary scheme is explained in detail by the DfE on the following page - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/initial-teacher-training-itt-bursary-funding-manual/initial-teacher-training-bursaries-funding-manual-2021-to-2022-academic-year.
We will be working closely with the DfE to ensure that our guidance and validation is a reflection of the information that is published on this page.

Changes to Guidance
INITIATIVES - Initiatives
Transition to Teach and Now Teach
In response to a high number of switch requests received for C20053, Valid entries 13 Transition to Teach and 14 Now Teach can be returned for Students on a qualification aim of Masters, not by research as well as those on a Provider-led entry route. The full coverage statements for these two Initiatives will be as follows:
Valid entries 13 'Transition to Teach' and 14 'Now Teach' can be returned when Student.QLAIM = 020, 021, 031 or 032 and Student.ENTRYRTE = 01, 02 or 03.
FUNDCODE - Fundability code
Update the references to EU status. This will now be ‘settled or pre-settles status under the EU Settlement Scheme’. This is referenced in two places in the FUNDCODE guidance.
Schema change for C22053
We had reports from providers that the XSD as it is currently published is not in alphabetical order. It is important to ensure that our schema is produced consistently however this must also be balanced with the impact a change such as this will have to software systems. We will therefore implement this change in C22053 (22/23).
The change will only impact the position of two fields - Placement.PLMNTSCH and Placement.PLMNTDYS. Their position will be swapped in the C22053 ITT return.
