Changes to NCCE Funding and Hub Support: What it means for the teacher network

The Department for Education (DfE) has announced that Grant Funding support for the Computing Hub Network will not continue into the next financial year. As a consequence, the NCCE is largely moving to online delivery and the NCCE hubs will no longer be providing support. Key initiatives like the Computing Quality Framework and teacher certification will continue.

CAS communities remain unaffected, offering vital support. What do these changes mean for teachers? Read the full blog to find out more.
