Early career framework induction evaluation
The final evaluation report of the Early Career Framework (ECF) was published on 29 May and is now available on GOV.UK. This comprehensive study followed the first cohort of ECTs, mentors, and induction tutors over two years, exploring their experiences, outcomes, and the impact of different induction models. Key findings highlight increased confidence, motivation, and job satisfaction among ECTs, growing sector support, and early signs of improved teacher retention. The report reflects how the DfE has responded to feedback while maintaining the quality and integrity of the programme.
