<p>Comparing the costs of different routes through initial teacher training is complex;
these vary significantly by subject and degree class due to different bursary rates.
School Direct Salaried and Teach First trainees do not receive a bursary.</p><p> </p><p>The
NAO report, Training New Teachers (10 February 2016) looked at average costs for academic
year 2013/14; this is the latest available comparison of teacher training costs by
route.</p><p> </p><p>The cost of training a new teacher through each of these routes
is listed below:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Teacher training route</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Cost
of training per trainee</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Teach First</p></td><td><p>£36,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>School
Direct (salary)</p></td><td><p>£20,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>School Direct (fee)</p></td><td><p>£20,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>School-centred
provider</p></td><td><p>£21,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Higher education institute</p></td><td><p>£19,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p> </p><p>Since these figures were published, the Department has procured a new
contract with Teach First, with a reduced average cost per trainee. Please see the
table below showing the bursaries available for the 2017/18 training year indicating
the scale of difference across subjects and degree class. The cost for trainees on
salaried routes will also vary by location to reflect salary differences between London
and elsewhere. In addition, the Teach First cost includes recruitment costs (£2,600
per trainee).</p><p>Bursary rates for 2017/18:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Scholarship</p></td><td><p>1st</p></td><td><p>2.1</p></td><td><p>2.2</p></td><td><p>Other</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Primary</p></td><td><p>
