<p>The Government provides bursaries in order to incentivise application to initial
teacher training (ITT) courses from the best graduates. As such, bursary rates are
set based on recruitment performance over recent years by phase and subject. Generally,
higher bursaries are provided where a phase or subject has struggled to attract sufficient
applicants in recent years. We review the financial incentives for ITT each year in
order to respond to recruitment patterns across these phases, subjects and routes.
Therefore, we have no current plans to extend bursary eligibility, but we will review
this again before announcing bursaries for those starting ITT in 2016/17.</p><p> </p><p>
