Freedom of Information Request – Full Statistical Modelling for 2024 Teacher Workforce Planning
Dear Scottish Government,
I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002. Specifically, I seek access to the complete statistical modelling used in the 2024 Teacher Workforce Planning Exercise, including all associated data, assumptions, and methodologies.
The information I am requesting goes beyond the extract provided and should include:
Detailed modelling data.
Underlying assumptions and parameters.
Any scenario-based projections or alternative models considered.
Supporting documentation or analyses used to inform the intake requirements for Initial Teacher Education (ITE).
This information is essential for understanding the methodology behind workforce planning decisions, particularly for addressing teacher employment stability.
If any of the requested information is exempt from disclosure, I would appreciate an explanation of the reasons for the exemption and a summary of the withheld content, as per the Act’s requirements.
Yours faithfully,
James Wysocki
