Paragraph: 63
Targeted bursaries improve teacher recruitment but negatively impact non-bursary subjects.
Conclusion
Where available, bursaries and scholarships improve teacher recruitment. We heard strong evidence that bursaries should be targeted where they will be most effective, such as for subjects with longstanding under-recruitment, subjects where demand is expected to increase and subjects that have particularly competitive job markets. However, we also heard concerns about the negative impact of targeted financial incentives on recruitment to teach non-bursary subjects.
