Open Eye: Welcome for Green Paper on teaching
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Vice-Chancellor Sir John Daniel has welcomed many of the proposals made in the Government Green Paper Teachers: meeting the challenge of change.
"This document is far-reaching in its potential effects on the supply of new teachers. The Open University has played a central role in teacher education in the UK over the past 30 years and is fully committed to continuing to play a full part in the future," he said.
The Open University is now reviewing its entire provision in the teacher training area and plans for future development will be considered later this year.
Dr Will Swann, Dean of the School of Education, said, "The University has responded to the challenge of the Green Paper by beginning a radical review of its teacher education programmes. The review will encompass initial and in-service training courses, and will build links with training programmes for teaching assistants.
"The University will seek to build strong partnerships with schools and other stakeholders in developing its future programmes."
