Education secretary Michael Gove has announced plans to support the expansion of Teach First. 28/11/2012
The charity will aim to train 2,000 exceptional graduates with high academic ability as teachers by 2015/16 - four times the number who took part in 2010 when the coalition government came to power.
From 2013 it will also expand into new parts of the country - the South coast in 2013 and East in 2014 including Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
Mr Gove said, 'Teach First helps get some of our brightest graduates into some of our most challenging classrooms. We are committed to supporting the charity in their efforts to reach more schools.'
These expansion plans will also make Teach First the largest graduate recruiter in the country next year. The charity recruits exceptional graduates with 2:1 or above and key personal skills. They go through a thorough assessment process and intensive two-year training programme.
Brett Wigdortz, CEO and founder of Teach First said, 'This support is vital to help us achieve our ambitious aim to ensure that no child's educational success is limited by their socio-economic background.'
