<p>This government is committed to world class public services. To ensure teaching
remains an attractive and fulfilling profession, we are delivering a fully funded
pay rise of up to 3.5% for classroom teachers on the main pay range, 2% for those
on the upper pay range and 1.5% for those in leadership positions.</p><p>For recruitment
to initial teacher training starting in September 2018 we put in place a range of
measures including generous bursaries, worth up to £26,000 for priority subjects,
to encourage even more talented trainees to key subjects such as maths and physics.</p><p>Earlier
this year my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State announced the development of
a new strategy to drive recruitment and boost retention of teachers. The strategy
will cover a wide range of areas, including professional development, career progression,
flexible working, and entry routes into teaching.</p>
