To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to increase the number of Design and Technology teachers.
Nick Gibb
Minister of State (Education)
We continue to support Design and Technology (D&T) teacher recruitment through bursaries of up to £12,000 and marketing campaigns featuring D&T. Subject knowledge enhancement courses are available for those candidates who need to refresh or boost their knowledge of D&T prior to commencing teacher training. The Department for Education provides a specific webpage through the ‘Get into Teaching’ website for potential D&T trainee teachers:

In addition, officials hold regular discussions with the Design and Technology Association.
