<p>The Department has developed the Teaching Vacancies Service, a national search
and listing service for teaching roles. This makes it easier for schools to advertise
posts free of charge to tackle the up to £75 million per year spent on advertising
for full time posts. The service will be available to all state schools in England
by March 2019. It can be found at <a href="https://teaching-vacancies.service.gov.uk/"

Department has put in place a range of measures, including generous bursaries, worth
up to £26,000 for priority subjects, to encourage trainees to key subjects such as
languages and physics. We are also testing new financial incentives for priority subject
teachers. These include early-career payments for new maths teachers and a student
loan reimbursement scheme for languages and science teachers.</p><p> </p><p>On 28
January 2019 the Department launched the Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy
which outlines 4 key areas for reform and investment: create the right climate for
leaders to establish supportive school cultures, transform support for early career
teachers, build a career offer that remains attractive to teachers as their careers
and lives develop, and make it easier for great people to become teachers.</p><p>Designed
collaboratively with the sector, the centrepiece of the strategy is the Early Career
Framework, which will underpin a fully-funded, two-year package of structured support
for all early career teachers linked to the best available research evidence. The
strategy can be found at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/teacher-recruitment-and-retention-strategy"
