Now more than ever we need to stick together as a nation- not try and turn people against people. I am disgusted that a former head teacher has the audacity to publicly decry teachers in this way! I do not think anyone can deny that teachers have stepped up to the challenge

This is everything that is wrong with Scottish Education.
We are still judging schools on how many N5โs or Highers they get in first sitting.
What about a curriculum that best suits the needs of the pupils at that school and supports their learner pathway?

When I was an NQT there were 40 applicants for Technical teaching postsโฆlucky if you can get 1 or 2 now.
Some subjects are at risk of being phased out of secondaries, especially in more rural areas.
Something needs to change
This is the first of what will be a series of pieces on Scotland's teacher recruitment crisis.
I spoke to young teachers from around the country to find out how cuts, insecurity, and council policies are impacting on them professionally *and* personally.
