More government created monopolies, in fact all monopolies require government interference to exist by definition.
Maybe if the Conservatives stopped outsourcing everything, and had one system to train the staff required for public services there wouldn’t be this issue.
But then how would they funnel taxpayers’ contributions to their pals?
And then people complain about benefit claimants and not the fact this country has cut ourselves off from jobseekers. Like wondering why you’re starving and blaming the immigrants instead of the fact you haven’t bothered to buy food this week
This government are slowly and systematically breaking this country apart.
I worry for my children. This shit isn’t going to be fixed in my life time and they’re the ones that will suffer.
This isn’t about Brexit, COVID or the war in Ukraine. This is about the conservative cunts stealing from us the citizens.
This isn’t a recession, it’s a robbery.
I think the solution to this is to bring in trained teachers from abroad and in particular India.
They would be highly skilled with a good work ethic and would be happy to do the job for £20K per annum saving the taxpayer a substantial amount of money. This model has been very successful in the manufacturing, agricultural, care and hospitality sectors.
No doubt the racist teachers would be up in arms but who is going to do the teaching that British teachers won’t do?
Depends why they rejected them. When I did my PGCE many years ago the course was a bit rubbish. Part of what ultimately led to me leaving teaching (around 1 year after NQT) was the fact that bullying was surprisingly rife on the PGCE, the provider didn’t give a single fuck (despite being told 3 times) and the same people who led the bullying were the ones put forward by the provider into their flagship colleges for the region.
Oh and some of that bullying was from the 80 year old battleaxe of a lecturer they had running the STEM element of the PGCE! .
So yea, there might be a legit reason why these training courses were rejected, and it is worth at least considering that before going to the default r/uk take of “Tories bad blah blah blah”. Surely we don’t want badly trained teachers in classrooms? Or do we? I suppose in a way if you just have a “bums on seats” policy then you make up the numbers (interesting if Labour gets in next time out, that’s all I’ll say lol).
Why anyone would enter the teaching profession these days is beyond me. The myth of well paid, short hours with long holidays are things of the past
Even if those courses were not rejected, we still do not have enough people applying for teacher training and those who pass the course do not stay in the profession long enough to help fill the deficit. New teachers barely last three years these days and older teachers are retiring (or retiring early) at a fast pace too. That leaves a smaller number of teachers hanging on but who are also being pushed to breaking point by pointless targets and more bureaucracy. The whole system is a mess and most of us who have left the profession will never be tempted back.
Wouldn’t be a shortage if the job paid enough. The only incentive to work, is money, and if the money isn’t worth the work, then the job’s not gonna get done, and that’s gonna fuck everything up.
We live in a capitalist world, everything revolves around money, so fix it with money.
Maybe, just maybe, if we had a little less immigration we wouldn’t have such a ridiculous issue with our public services right now.
Add on the fact that Local Authorities are starting to introduce recruitment freezes on schools as well and you get schools that are running on the bare minimum of staffing.
The public don’t understand just how closely our education system is riding the line of complete collapse. We don’t have the resources, we don’t have the staff, we don’t have the facilities, we don’t have the right curriculum focus. The system has been completely and intentionally gutted for profit and it’s very soon going to be beyond saving (just wait until the Tories have successfully pushed through their wet dream of making all schools academies).
The education system runs on unpaid overtime and goodwill, and that goodwill has almost completely run out for most school staff.
