Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to ensure sixth form colleges can attract able maths teachers.
This question was answered on 27th October 2014
We have increased the value of teacher training bursaries and scholarships for maths graduates entering teaching.
The School Direct Training Programme enables sixth form colleges to recruit their own trainees and tailor training to meet their specific requirements.
We fund Subject Knowledge Enhancement courses, which offer graduates and career changers with the right background the chance to develop the expertise needed to teach maths.
