The small progress that has been made will inevitably be undone if we don't address the recruitment & retention of CS teachers. Lack of CS teachers means lack of access in a subject that is yet to be a core subject & already has no equity of access. #SaveComputingScience

"Has any CS department successfully defended keeping their CS class size to a max of 20?" Unfortunately, we are hearing CS classes more & more going up to 30. Has anyone managed to successfully plead the case to stay at 20? #SaveComputingScience #TogetherWeCanAchieveMore

A great opportunity for teachers delivering Computing Science across both primary and secondary schools in Scotland to share their views on the challenges facing the subject, exchange good practice, and contribute ideas and solutions for the future. #SaveComputingScience
📢A new initiative, in partnership with STACS & others, is gathering evidence on CS in Scotland focusing on key areas, starting with recruitment & retention. Have your say https://t.co/PCqUZg2LIW or join conversation on https://t.co/ShZcWtXc9t

The challenges facing Computing Science are so intertwined, but I remain completely optimistic that we can fix them. This isn't an impossible situation – it's fixable! #SaveComputingScience
We need ‘strategic interventions’ to arrest decline, says computing science teaching campaigner. Toni Scullion says latest teacher census numbers are "alarming" for the subject, but recruitment issues can be solved with the right policies ⬇️ https://t.co/eP0QQcZxeB

“Inevitably, if there are no teachers, you cannot teach the subject,” said Logan. #SaveComputingScience
Computer studies at Scottish secondary schools are facing a crisis as the number of teachers in the subject has dropped to its lowest level in five years, according to the latest Scottish Government data. Find out more here ⤵️ https://t.co/CQDsn9XJQF

Feel free to DM if you don't want to post a public post. We know a few departments are going through this right now. Hoping to find a beacon of light who may have managed to persuade powers at be otherwise 🙏 #SaveComputingScience

I reckon the best way to #SaveComputingScience and recruit the number of CS teachers we need is to offer Retro eSports. Imagine if you could teach kids how to excel at Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Space Invaders etc? The ITE courses would be flooded with applicants! 😂 @CompSciScot

I can't wait to share this! The dashboard has the data from 1986 across all traditional STEM subjects including teacher data as well. I'm sure this will be useful for those with an interest in other STEM subjects as well. #SaveComputingScience
Thanks to #SkilledVolunteers Aba-Sah Dadzie, Blaga Baycheva and Eleanor Mitchell, dressCode now has a full interactive visualisation of data on uptake, exam presentations and results across computing science in Scotland’s schools.
