A scheme to recruit top-flight graduates from Britain’s leading universities to teach in inner city schools is to be doubled in size, the Prime Minister will say tonight. Teach First, has proved so popular among students that five per cent of all Oxford graduates applied to it this year. The 380 places offered on the scheme were at least four times oversubscribed. Head teachers are so impressed with the way that recruits to the scheme have been able to help turn around underperforming departments, that for every one Teach First trainee, there are now four schools desperate to take them. Gordon Brown will announce that the scheme would be doubled in size to take in 850 recruits by 2013, making it one the UK’s largest graduate recruiters.Times
