Answer

I am advised by the Ministry of Education that all initial teacher education providers applied for School Onsite Training Programme (SOTP) places according to their capacity. In 2026 the University of Otago received 4 places, 2 primary places and 2 secondary places. It has not received funding for SOTP places prior to 2026.
