In November 2020 I was told I had 6 months left to live and was at risk of sudden death, due to a colloid cyst in my brain.
Graduates offered up to £30k to train to teach core subjects
The initiative aims to ensure all pupils have access to good teaching, in subjects such as maths and physics. The £30,000 sum is directed at first year physics graduates and represents a £5,000 increase from last year. Other bursaries have increased to sums of £25,000 in alternate EBacc subjects such as Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Computing, languages and Geography.
Nicky Morgan has already confirmed that all pupils will be expected to take compulsory EBacc subjects by 2020, which has led some educational professionals to voice concerns, saying that focus on academic subjects could restrict the time available for creative and technical subjects.
However, Schools Minister Nick Gibb claims that every child should study core academic subjects to provide better preparation for later life.
Announcing the increased bursaries, he said: “Teaching now attracts more top graduates than ever before. To ensure we can continue to attract the best and brightest graduates, with the potential to be excellent teachers in these key subjects, we are continuing to offer a wide range of bursaries and scholarships.”
