The University of East London established its Secondary PGCE program in 2001 through collaboration with local authorities to tackle the teacher shortage in East London's secondary schools.
This initiative benefits from ongoing partnerships with multiple London boroughs: Barking & Dagenham, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Waltham Forest, and Redbridge.
