A party coming up with long term investments for a more hopeful future. Finally. They seem to be looking long term rather than just one parliamentary term which is the issue we’ve had with governance across the UK in recent years.
yet another political party with a policy that’s failing to address the teaching retention crisis
That’s great and all, but there’s barely any teaching jobs in Wales and schools are struggling to hold on to the staff they have because they can’t afford to keep them.
How would they fund this?
Today I learned some welsh schools dont have libraries
And what happens when they begin their first supply teaching role after completing their PGCE, get a chair thrown at them (or worse) and quit in the first year like most do?
Do they give that £30k back?
They need to tackle why teachers are leaving the profession, not spend tens of thousands training up those duped into taking useless degrees who see teaching as the last resort.
Go to a PGCE open day and it’s all the same.
Sport science, psychology, animal behaviour etc. Mostly from awful universities, with poor grades, who don’t want to be there but are trapped with little other long term options available to them.
Two friends who are teachers, ones just survived a redundancy round at his secondary school, the other has one coming for her primary school next year.
So we are struggling to recruit teachers, struggling to retain them and then firing them anyway
Our school is literally letting teachers go due to education budget cuts, where do they propose to find funding for this?
My guess is, in the detail, it will only apply to Welsh medium schools.
