Aye Northumbria uni is in Newcastle.

Aye you said you probably won't get into Newcastle. I thought you meant the the University Of Newcastle..... and not Northumbria, as they also offer the PGCE.

Summer holidays are too short in England, you don't get that over here.

All joking aside, it seems one of the wee lads is in a bad way, wtf  ???

Teacher cleared.

TYP i would say it will go whenever we are asked to pay for it ourselves.
It is only a matter of time before it is disbanded.

Can i also take this opportunity to wish my secondary colleagues in the South all the best on there 3 month summer holidays.
It's just a pity we only get the 2 months in the North.

TYP I hope Mr Hesketh doesn't lurk here.  Personally I wouldn't miss PMB, CASS and having been overwhelmed with indifference at the Hilton last week, DE and ETI!

Currently underway.

I really resent the amount spent on GTCNI and other educational quangos when teachers and other employed in education are losing their jobs.  Too much money is being wasted centrally and not gettting to the chalk face.

Would we miss the RTU?
Schools aren't averse to wasting money either. The practice of employing retired teachers on an expensive daily rate is a scandal that needs addressed to keep newly qualified teachers from walking away. Having said that I would guess the supply of new teachers leaving the Ranch and Stran every year far outstrips the demand so new teachers have noone to blame bit themselves to an extent.

I think the DoE sets the quota on the teacher training places not the Colleges.

Aye I think they cut the quota a couple of years ago. Regardless, if there is no natural wastage due to teachers actually retiring to the golf course then the supply will continue to outstrip demand. I know a fella is qualified 5 years and still hasn't a fulltime permanent post.

For any teachers why are staff training days in schools always during term time and on a Friday?  Surely to God the 4 months odd they are off a year training could be penciled in here, there must be at least 2 / 3 every term.
