The Department for Education is running a secondary maths teacher degree apprenticeship (TDA) funding pilot. This is in addition to the full launch of the TDA across primary and secondary in all subjects.

The TDA will be a high-quality initial teacher training (ITT) course, enabling successful candidates to attain an undergraduate degree and qualified teacher status (QTS) whilst being employed in a school setting.

Pilot providers will design TDA courses in secondary maths and partner with employing schools to deliver them.

Schools that employ trainees as part of the funding pilot will receive financial incentives to support with trainee salary costs.

Employers will have access to the apprenticeship levy to fund training and assessment costs.
