Thousands of education students will receive scholarships worth up to $40,000 as part of the federal government's push to boost the number of teachers across the nation.

The scheme will offer 5000 scholarships to teaching students who begin studying next year, specifically targeting high-achieving school leavers, mid-career professionals, First Nations people, those from remote or regional Australia, students living with disabilities, and those with English as a second language.
