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>
