Abstract
An overview of the contribution of the Open University ITE Partnership in Wales' PGCE Programme in addressing teacher education recruitment challenges in Wales. The flexible routes into teaching available in Wales are part-time or employment based. Distance learning offers student teachers the opportunity to study when and where they want, and they are able to participate by working with a local school without the need to commute to a university campus. Since 2020, more than 200 teachers have graduated to the teacher workforce in Wales via these new routes into the teaching profession.
