ITE Data Report 2015

About

This report brings together the available data on initial teacher education (ITE) in Australia. It includes information on ITE students and graduates, as well as ITE institutions and programs. 

This report builds on the collection of baseline data identified in both the 2013 and 2014 reports, contributing to a more informed debate over teacher quality and the direction of initial teacher education in Australia. 

In this report additional data have been collected, including time series data and data on the commencements and completions of initial teacher education students by home and term residence categories. 

Also, further analysis has been undertaken on the 2013 Staff in Australia’s Schools survey data to specifically analyse survey responses from early career teachers who have been teaching one to two years and three to five years. The data presented in this report highlight the scale and diversity of initial teacher education in Australia. Over 79,000 students were enrolled in initial teacher education in 2013, in over 400 courses at 48 providers.
