Recommendation 11
11
Paragraph: 72
Review 'golden handcuffs' option and commission research on improving teacher retention.
Recommendation
Though concern remains about the retention of teachers in receipt of bursary funding. Evidence tells us that the current structure of bursaries offers sufficient value for money in terms of recruitment and retention, given that retention rates are similar for those who do and do not receive Initial teacher training (ITT) bursaries. We recommend the Government keep the option of ‘golden handcuffs’ under review and commissions further research on how retention can be improved.
