This variation may be due to differences in the subjects being taught by men and women. Teachers in some subject areas may command a higher salary because FE providers have difficulty recruiting staff to these teaching roles. However, the HESA data does not contain robust information on the subjects new teachers are delivering and, consequently, it is not possible to examine whether this difference in starting salary is consistent among men and women teachers teaching the same subjects.

It has four sections: Section 6.1 describes the approach taken to calculate the range of ITE courses delivered in England, which informs Chapter 3 of the report. Section 6.2 describes how ITE provider information was collected. This information was presented in Chapter 4 of the report. Section 6.3 presents the calculations and assumptions used in Chapter 4 to examine the size and characteristics of the ITE provider base. Section 6.4 describes the approach used to analyse the characteristics of ITE programme learners, which is presented in Chapter 5. The purpose of the is to improve understanding of the strengths and limitations of the results presented in the baseline report and describe the approach needed to replicate the research in future. 6.1 Identifying the range of ITE courses for FE The calculation of the number of ITE courses was based on two data sources: HESA data, which included information on all ITE qualifications accredited by HE institutions. Ofqual data, which contained information on all ITE qualifications accredited by awarding organisations. Both of these data sources contain a comprehensive list of all the learners who have completed their programme in a given academic year. The Ofqual and HESA data sources are also publicly available, although HESA data is only provided on a commercial basis. The sections below describe how both data sources were filtered to identify ITE provision.
