The government is offering schools up to £28,000 to cover the cost of training apprentices in mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, computing, and modern foreign languages – the subjects which have the highest teacher shortages. This means apprentices pay nothing for their training and will earn a salary while they are training before moving on to full time teacher pay salary.
The DfE is cutting red tape to help get more teachers in the classroom from this August with a new 9 month course as opposed to 12 months.
Being paid to learn this is a coveted way to get into teaching. Don’t forget there is also the new degree level teacher apprenticeship starting from September as well.
