Early career teachers will be offered cash incentives to stop an exodus from classrooms in England, under Labour plans to be unveiled this week.
Keir Starmer and his Shadow Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson will pledge “world-class teaching for every child” in a major speech on education.
The party will introduce a retention payment for those new to the profession worth around £2,400 per teacher.
The £50million bonus scheme will be put in place as the existing system of incentives for teachers is simplified.
It will come as Mr Starmer sets out how a Labour government would focus on breaking down barriers to opportunity.
According to the party's analysis almost a third of teachers - 32% - who have qualified in the last 11 years have since left the profession.
Last month it was reported that Tory ministers had begun an overseas recruitment drive in an effort to plug the vacancies gap with £10,000 relocation fees.
The sector is also grappling with widespread strikes over pay and working conditions with teachers set to walkout of classrooms in England on Wednesday and Friday.
Shadow Education Secretary Ms Phillipson will say a Labour government would reform the way teachers and schools access incentive payments.
She will commit to simplifying a messy network of payments - aimed at those in shortage subject areas such as physics and different regions of the country - into one system.
The plan will be cost-free but there will be a new retention payment made available for teachers completing the two-year Early Career Framework.
It is understood Labour will fund this £50million plan through its plans to abolish private schools' tax breaks in England if it wins power at the next general election.
The party hopes it will combat the trend of early leavers in the profession.
Labour also said it will reinstate the requirement for new teachers to have or be working towards qualified teacher status.
Labour's education chief Ms Phillipson said: "Labour's mission to break down barriers to opportunity rests on driving high and rising standards in our schools.
"To deliver a broad curriculum that's rich in knowledge and schools, we need world-class teaching for every child."
She added: "Only Labour has the vision to re-establish teaching as a profession that is respected and valued as a skilled job which delivers for our country.
"A good retention plan is the best recruitment plan: that is why Labour will bring in qualified teacher status, simplify the complex incentive payments system and reform the early career framework to ensure every classroom has a world-class teacher".
