University places for new student teachers in Northern Ireland have been cut to the lowest level in about a decade, BBC News NI's Education Correspondent robbeorn reports -

By Robbie MeredithThe number of university places for new student teachers in NI has been cut by the Department of Education to its lowest level in about a decade.There will be 13 fewer places for prospective teachers for courses beginning in September.

They are Stranmillis University College, St Mary's University College, Queen's University and Ulster University. The Department of Education bases that intake figure on budget considerations, but also calculates how many teachers Northern Ireland is likely to need in the coming years. But there will be only 567 new student places across the four universities for courses beginning in September 2023.
