Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of funding available to support teacher recruitment beyond 2024.
In line with standard Government practice, funding beyond 2019/20 is a matter for the upcoming Spending Review.
The Department recognises that funding is crucial to making the ambitions of our recently published Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy a reality. That is why the Department has made some specific funding commitments for key elements of the strategy such as the Early Career Framework (ECF).
Once fully embedded in schools, the Department anticipates investing an additional £130 million every year to support ECF delivery in full.
