Written Question
Teachers
Tuesday 21st July 2015

Asked by: Wendy Morton (Conservative - Aldridge-Brownhills)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to support recruitment and retention of high quality teachers.

Answered by Nick Gibb

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.
