Rebecca Evans AM, Assembly Member for Gower, has welcomed the announcement that the Welsh Government’s existing financial incentives for teacher training will be extended into the academic year 2019-20.
 
Rebecca Evans AM said: “This is an extremely positive announcement. The incentives have encouraged some our most gifted graduates to enter the field of teaching. The Welsh Government seeks to provide the highest quality of learning experience for every child in Wales, and to do this we need to encourage our brightest and best into teaching.”
 
The incentives of up to £20,000 per student aim to attract the best graduates into teaching priority subjects such as maths, chemistry, physics, computer science and modern foreign languages.
 
The Education Minster, Kirsty Williams AM said: “Giving school pupils the best possible education means attracting the best teachers into the profession, especially in priority subjects where the demand for new teachers is highest.”

Notes to Editors:
 
The incentives, of up to £20,000 per student, aim to attract the best graduates into teaching priority subjects such as maths, chemistry, physics, computer science and modern foreign languages.
