I welcome bursaries of up to £27,000 for trainee teachers in boost for priority subjects.
The Government is boosting bursaries and scholarships for teachers in science, maths, and other priority subjects, with trainee teachers receiving bursaries of as much as £27,000, building on the Levelling Up Premium worth up to £3,000 for teachers moving to disadvantaged schools. 
Schools in the Sedgefield constituency will benefit from a talent pool of teachers recruited and retained with extra funding for bursaries to attract the best possible teachers for high priority subjects. 
The package of extra funding is worth £181 million in total, £52 million extra on the total available this year. 
This will help to develop our skills pipeline and grow our economy, increasing the life chances of young people across the country.
