Teacher Training

Lord Lexden Excerpts

Wednesday 4th November 2015 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Evans of Bowes Park]

I reassure the noble Baroness that this year we recruited the number of primary school teaching graduates that we wished to. That is very good news. We are increasing bursaries in a number of key subjects. From next year, there will be £30,000 bursaries for graduates who are going into teaching in some of the most difficult subjects.

[Lord Lexden (Con)]

How will the new national teaching service announced yesterday help to raise standards in schools that have difficulty recruiting teachers?
