A Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) Programme is designed for candidates to gain the depth of knowledge needed to train to teach in their chosen subject. An SKE can be offered to a candidate who has a conditional offer of an Initial Teacher Training place, that is a condition to complete an SKE Course in their chosen subject. The need for an SKE is identified by the school or the University of Reading during the recruitment process.
The Department for Education (DfE) currently funds SKE courses in five secondary subjects:
- chemistry
- computing
- languages
- mathematics
- physics
