PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Teachers (14 July 2015)

We have increased scholarships and bursaries to attract top graduates in priority subjects; supported the growth of Teach First and enabled schools to reward their best teachers in line with their performance. We announced a £67m package to recruit an additional 2,500 mathematics and physics teachers and improve the knowledge and skills of 15,000 existing teachers. For 2016/17, we have given greater freedom to initial teacher training providers to recruit the trainees they need within recruitment controls set by the National College of Teaching and Leadership.
