Rehman raised the case of the Department of Education's initial teacher training market review and the impact it is having on teacher recruitment. Twelve universities - including Greenwich University which covers Universities at Medway and the University of Durham have been removed from teacher training opportunities, affecting more than 4,492 future teachers. Rehman emphasised the need to inspire the younger generation to go to university as schools need outstanding teachers and the important spectrum of universities from across the country which are providing that training.
