Loughborough ranked in top ten for teacher training
Loughborough’s teacher training has been rated among the best in the UK, in the Good Teacher Training Guide 2008-09.
The University was ranked ninth out of 73 higher education institutions in the league table, which is published by the Centre for Education and Employment Research at the University of Buckingham.
The table is based upon three factors the inspection rankings given by the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted), the qualifications of the entrants, and the percentage of trainees in teaching in the January following graduation. In this latter criteria, Loughborough was ranked third, with 85.1% of its graduates employed in secondary level teaching.
“We are delighted by our ranking in the guide,” said Dr Jo Harris, head of Loughborough’s Teacher Education Unit. “It is further confirmation of the quality of the teachers emerging from Loughborough who are going on to make significant contributions to education in our schools.”
Back in April this year Loughborough’s teacher training was graded ‘outstanding’ the highest possible category by Ofsted. The review found particular strengths in several areas, including: strong leadership; continuous improvement; exciting innovations; outstanding attention to trainees’ needs; excellent documentation; and well-designed selection procedures.
