There is an increasing need for qualified teachers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and MFL (Modern Foreign Languages) subjects. Demand for MFL teachers has been challenging and the demand for STEM skills is increasing. As a result, more high-quality teachers are needed to support the teaching of MFL and help increase pupil attainment in STEM subjects and, in particular, in maths and physics at GCSE. In 2010, the Department for Education (DfE) introduced the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) as a school performance measure. As schools increase their entries into EBacc subjects, the DfE anticipates that there will be more demand for specialist teachers in these subjects, especially for MFL teachers. This report presents findings from evaluation fieldwork undertaken between April 2017 and August 2018, including surveys and interviews with programme participants and stakeholders.
