Answer
Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
The Welsh Government offers a range of incentives to attract applicants into initial teacher education in Wales. Further information on these incentives can be found on the following webpages:
ITE Priority Subject Incentive: guidance for students 2024 to 2025 | GOV.WALES
Iaith Athrawon Yfory Incentive Scheme: guidance for students 2024 to 2025 | GOV.WALES

All the ITE incentive schemes have a portion of the incentive grant paid to teachers should they meet the eligibility criteria of completing their statutory induction period within schools in Wales.
The Welsh Government also provides a retention bursary for Welsh medium teachers. Further information on this can be found at the following webpage:
