Abstract
The Initial Teacher Training Market Review was released at the end of the most tumultuous of academic years. In spite of a claim to offer the promise of ‘world- class training’, the proposals, if enacted, have the potential to force out many with genuine expertise in teacher education. Written during the seven-week review consultation period, this article questions the recommendations of the document and the motivation behind what has been proposed. A range of possible implications are explored, and questions are posed about the review process itself.
