| 1Proposals exist to establish a national bursary scheme for those entering initial teacher training. |
| NOTE: Recruitment incentives include the payment of course tuition fees by the government. Where no recruitment incentives are highlighted we have not found evidence that any exist. For those countries with devolved structures (Australia, Canada, Germany, South Africa, Switzerland, and the USA) it is not always possible to provide ‘national’ data. Readers should therefore recognize that the data may refer to specific states or provinces, as examples, and cannot necessarily be taken to reflect a national position. |
