Question time?!
Posted by John Naples-Campbell on June 21st, 2008
Having made many great friends in my first year at Knox I am saddened that for four of them in my faculty they will be leaving at the end of this session as they were NQTs and there isn’t jobs available for them at our school or region.
It must be concerning for them and many others when they look at TES and see no jobs or very little jobs coming up each week for their subject and knowing that come August thousands of new NQTs will be starting schools over Scotland.
Universities such as Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen are still accepting lots of people for various courses only for no jobs to appear when the pass their NQT year. The Scottish Government has stated that jobs will be available… in a few years! Would you find a new career for a few years and return to teaching? would you?
It is slightly concerning that there is about 50 secondary Drama NQTs starting this year; is there 50 jobs for them? mmmm I don’t think!
Anyway… ‘BBCs Question Time’ is hitting Musselburgh on July 3rd! apply online here to be an audience member and make teacher unemployment an issue! I’m there! oh and don’t get me started on funding for the ARTS in Scotland!!!!!!!!!!!!!
