The Government announced the Teachers\u2019 Student Loan Reimbursement scheme in October 2017, fulfilling our manifesto commitment to help new teachers stay in the profession by forgiving their student loan repayments. The scheme is a pilot that is testing the impact of offering this incentive on teacher retention. It is aimed at early career teachers of languages and science who qualified since 2013/14, and is available in specific local authorities. Information on the scheme is available here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/teachers-student-loan-reimbursement-guidance-for-teachers-and-schools<\/a>.<\/p> The scheme has been designed in this way because retention is most challenging early in teachers' careers, and because science and languages are in high demand by schools.<\/p> The local authorities where teachers\u2019 student loan reimbursement applies have high need for teachers. This is determined by the 'Defining Achieving Excellence Areas' methodology, available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/defining-achieving-excellence-areas-methodology<\/a>.<\/p> High need areas not included in the scheme are in the control group, which will enable the Department to conduct a robust evaluation.<\/p>"}
