We are also funding a prestigious scholarship scheme for computing trainees worth £25,000 tax-free and offering a range of professional benefits. Additional funding has also been made available to schools offering School Direct (salaried) places in computing to boost starting salaries; computing trainees will be able to earn over £21,000 nationally and £25,000 in inner London.<\/p> There are a range of other incentives in place to attract high quality computing trainees into the teaching profession, including:<\/p> [1] www.ucas.com/data-analysis/ucas-teacher-training-statistical-releases<\/a><\/p>"}
