Read The Trial by Kafka for a good analogy.

Crisis in schools that the Market Review sought to address may spread to university ITE departments. Through loss of accreditation or staff simply not being able to continue, there is a new crisis emerging, as one participant explains:

‘I am not sure how much longer I can stay working in ITE.

Our study continues with the 2024 survey launch in May for ITE colleagues in England, but we would also appreciate insights from international perspectives on how our teacher educators can be supported through this time of turbulence and uncertainty – please do contact us.Is it time to start thinking about reframing climate change education?
