Teachers working in the UK’s “toughest” schools will receive a loyalty bonus of £10,000, under new government plans.

The cash windfall would be given after three years of service along with specialist training to cope with problem students.

The package becomes available for around 6,000 teachers in over 500 schools from September 2009.
