Last month the Department for Education awarded £4.8 million of grants to military ethos providers in addition to the £3.2 million already committed last academic year.
As part of a wider engagement between the services and schools, Troops to Teachers will develop eligible service leavers into teachers through a combination of additional financial support and the introduction of a bespoke initial teacher training course from January 2014.
The Cadet Expansion programme aims to create 100 new cadet units based in English state funded schools by 2015.
