Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many and what proportion of applications to the Troops to Teachers scheme were successful in each year since 2018.

The Department does not hold information centrally on the characteristics of people who are in receipt of the Troops to Teachers bursary.
