The Department for Education has announced £196 million, an 8.9% increase, to attract more teachers across key subjects, funding scholarships, bursaries and salary grants to help thousands of candidates through their initial teacher training.
Scholarships for those opting to teach mathematics, physics, chemistry and computing will be increased to up to £30,000 tax-free, to attract more trainee teachers to support the delivery of the new Advanced British Standard, announced by the prime minister last week.
