uin	256248
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2019 answer text <p>​​The Department has increased bursary funding for religious education courses. In academic year 2019/20, religious education trainees with a 2:2 undergraduate degree or above will receive a £9,000 bursary. Previously a £9,000 bursary was only available to those with a first class degree, while those with a 2:1 degree received £4,000 and there was no funding available for other degree classes. These increases show the Department’s continuing commitment to recruiting religious education teachers.</p><p> </p><p>The Department will review bursary funding this summer, prior to announcing the offer for academic year 2020/21 courses in early autumn. This will involve making difficult decisions about where to deploy funding, which will be based on an assessment of current recruitment performance and available budget.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 23/05/2019 10:16:52 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
