answer text <p>There are several salaried routes into initial teacher training (ITT), including School Direct Salaried and Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeships. By the end of their course, trainees must be able to demonstrate the same teachers’ standards as on any other ITT course, but trainees progress towards qualified teacher status (QTS) while employed in a school and receiving a salary.</p><p>Unqualified teachers can also apply to a fee-funded ITT course, where they can benefit from our generous bursaries worth up to £26,000 across a range of subjects.</p><p>In addition, those with significant experience of teaching can be assessed by an accredited provider, and achieve QTS, without having to undergo formal training on an ITT course.</p><p>Information on salaried teacher training can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/explore-my-options/teacher-training-routes/school-led-training/school-direct-salaried" target="_blank">https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/explore-my-options/teacher-training-routes/school-led-training/school-direct-salaried</a>.</p><p>Information on bursaries and scholarships can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/funding-my-teacher-training/bursaries-and-scholarships-for-teacher-training" target="_blank">https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/funding-my-teacher-training/bursaries-and-scholarships-for-teacher-training</a>.</p><p>Information on gaining QTS with only an assessment can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/explore-my-options/teacher-training-routes/specialist-training-options/assessment-only" target="_blank">https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/explore-my-options/teacher-training-routes/specialist-training-options/assessment-only</a>.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Department considers the health and safety of staff and pupils in school as paramount. Since 2015, the Department has allocated £5.6 billion to those responsible for school buildings and for essential maintenance, including removing or encapsulating asbestos when it is the safest course of action to do so. In addition, through the £4.4 billion Priority School Building Programme, the Department is rebuilding or refurbishing buildings in the worst condition in over 500 schools across the country. Asbestos is a factor in choosing which schools to re-build.</p><p>Advice from the Health and Safety Executive is that if asbestos is unlikely to be damaged or disturbed, then it is best managed in situ. The blanket and accelerated removal of asbestos in schools is potentially a more dangerous and greater risk to pupils and staff. Any decision to remove asbestos is taken on a case by case basis, based on the risk of exposure and the work to be undertaken. While asbestos will be removed over time from the school estate as part of any rebuilding or refurbishment programme, the Department has not committed to the phased removal of all asbestos by a specific date.</p>
