Welsh Government records show that 45 student teachers (rounded to the nearest 5) registered for the incentive in academic year 2022/23 and 60 student teachers (rounded to the nearest 5) registered this academic year. Information is available via the School Workforce Annual Census which shows 325 ethnic minority teachers working in Wales in academic year 2022/23.
