18 April 2012
Voice: the union for education professionals has commented on the DfE’s £500,000 scholarship scheme for SEN support staff launched today (18 April 2012).
General Secretary Philip Parkin said:
“Although better late than never, this is too little too late and rather limited in scope.
“The scheme targets only the elite – or ‘talented’ as the DfE describes them – those teaching assistants (TAs) who are already well qualified, with A levels or equivalent qualifications or who hold higher level teaching assistant (HLTA) status.
“There remains a real need for the majority of TAs involved in special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) work – those employed at levels one or two, many of whom will be minimally qualified – to gain access to appropriate specialised training. Regrettably, this initiative does nothing for them.”
