The £130 million funding package represents an ongoing investment in the development of early career teachers and their mentors. Once fully rolled out, all schools will be able to draw on fully funded and quality assured training and support.<\/p>
<\/p>
Funding for national roll-out will include funding and guaranteeing 5% off timetable in the second year of teaching for all early career teachers, with funding based on the number of early career teachers a school is supporting. It will also include the creation of high quality curricula and training materials paid for by the Department and available for free. The roll-out will further establish full Early Career Framework (ECF) training programmes, with teachers\u2019 access to programmes funded by the Department, rather than schools. It will also ensure funding time for mentors to support early career teachers, and fully funded mentor training.<\/p>
<\/p>
The £130 million funding reflects what individual schools are expected to need on a yearly basis to support delivery of the ECF in full. The early roll-out phase will help the Department collect evidence on how to roll out the framework nationally in September 2021 and ensure it meets the needs of early career teachers and enables them to enjoy a successful start in the profession.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Spending Review 2019 will set wider Departmental budgets and confirm the precise funding details for the ECF.<\/p>

The Department for Education is committed to ensuring that all children, regardless of background, have the opportunity to fulfil their potential. As of August 2018, 86% of schools are judged good or outstanding by Ofsted. To raise standards, national programmes are in place which provide support at system or individual school level, which respond to ongoing challenges associated with reducing the gap between the most disadvantaged young people and their peers. The Department also funds a national network of Teaching Schools and National Leaders of Education to deliver school to school support. The Department has focused interventions in 12 areas of the country with low social mobility through the Opportunity Area programme. Opportunity Areas will help the Department to understand what works best in areas with entrenched social mobility barriers, including improving educational outcomes, so it can spread successful approaches across the country.
