Schools minister Damian Hinds has admitted he was “wrong” to reduce bursaries for maths teachers in favour of “golden handcuff” payments in their early careers when he was education secretary.
The minister, re-appointed to the department last month to replace Nick Gibb, also revealed today he is planning changes to the early career framework from 2025.
Hinds appeared alongside senior DfE official Sue Lovelock in front of the education committee this morning.
