<p>The department has announced funding for science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) subjects for those training in the 2022/23 academic year. As graduates in these
subjects attract the highest salaries outside teaching, we are offering a £24,000
tax-free bursary or a £26,000 tax-free scholarship in chemistry, computing, mathematics,
and physics. This reflects the priority we place on training teachers to teach STEM
subjects.</p><p>We are offering a Levelling Up Premium worth up to £3,000 tax-free
annually for maths, physics, chemistry and computing teachers in the first five years
of their careers, who choose to work in disadvantaged schools. This will support recruitment
and retention of specialist teachers in these subjects and in the schools and areas
that need them most.</p><p> </p>
