<p>We have no data on numbers of Erasmus+ participants who go on to be modern foreign
language (MFL) teachers. At a national level we are retaining and recruiting the teachers
we need. We recognise, however, that the situation is challenging in certain subjects
including MFL. Therefore we are offering up to £25,000 for MFL bursaries and</p><p>have
expanded the prestigious scholarship scheme for 2017/18 entry by introducing scholarships
in MFL.</p><p> </p><p>We are funding subject specialism training in languages for
non-specialist teachers who already have some language expertise, and for former language
teachers returning to the subject. We have reviewed our approach on returners and
developed a package of tailored classroom experience which seeks to increase the number
of MFL returners and which will be piloted in the north-west and south-east. This
will further complement the wider national package of advisor support available to
returning MFL teachers.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise the value of international exchange
and collaboration in education and training, as part of our vision for the UK as a
global nation. There may be European programmes – such as Erasmus+ – in which we might
want to participate. We will consider this as part of the Brexit negotiation.</p>
