Bursaries are a key to ensuring teachers can afford train to teach, especially when they have other commitments such as childcare/a mortgage. These bursaries have been drastically cut in many subjects for the 2021 cohort of applicants. Arts and humanities have a complete lack of bursary, while sciences have unequal bursaries, yet many teachers will be expected to teach the same three subjects. This needs to change to prevent further loss of teachers and children's education.
