year we have recruited 32,156 trainees with a further 387 projected to start later
in the academic year. This is slightly less than the number recruited in 2013, however,
this will not result in a teacher shortage since not all trainees progress into teaching
immediately after training, and schools can recruit teachers from other avenues.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Education is taking a number of steps to drive up
recruitment in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects for
2015/16, including increasing bursaries and scholarships for postgraduate ITT recruitment
up to £25,000; paying a £5,000 bonus to maths, physics and computing trainees on our
salaried scheme; and continuing to promote the subject knowledge enhancement programme.</p>
