The Government is committed to recruiting the most talented graduates to enter initial teacher training (ITT). We offer a range of financial incentives to attract the very best graduates into teaching. From 2012/13, the highest bursaries for ITT have been awarded to graduates with first or 2:1 degree classifications and for subjects in which it is traditionally difficult to recruit for.<\/p>
<\/p>
In September 2014, we announced increases to tax-free ITT bursaries for chemistry, computing, maths, physics and languages trainee teachers to £25,000 for graduates with first class degrees starting their ITT in 2015/16. Trainees with a 2:1 degree training to teach physics will also receive £25,000 and those training to teach chemistry, maths, computing and languages will receive £20,000. We have also increased bursaries in biology, geography, design and technology (D&T), and primary maths, and introduced a new bursary for religious education (RE). Full details of financial incentives for ITT are published online at:<\/p>
