Ateb
Atebwyd gan Cabinet Secretary for Education
In the academic year (AY) 2022/23, less than five individuals received the Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) payment for all three Initial Teacher Education (ITE) incentive schemes. In AY2023/24, no individuals received this payment for all three schemes. These figures do not include individuals who left within the academic year or did not achieve QTS or were part time students in AY 2023/24 and therefore have not yet completed ITE.
The table below shows how many individuals in each academic year have received payments from each of the ITE incentive schemes, rounded to the nearest five.

* The Priority Subject Incentive Scheme has been available in Wales in some form since before devolution and has changed multiple times over the last three decades. The most recent major set of changes came into effect in AY2022/23 whereby the scheme was substantially simplified and the payment structure amended to include completion of the statutory induction period for final payment. The figures in the table represent the number of claimants that received the first payment made during their ITE year after completion of the first term (this is lower than the number registered on the scheme as some students leave within the first term and are therefore not eligible). The figures also include Part-time PGCE students receiving the first payment in their first year of their PGCE programme.
