Thousands Considering Teaching Careers

By
Thousands more people are considering a career in teaching as a result of the Scottish Government's latest recruitment campaign, according to early evaluation findings.



The Teaching Makes People campaign was launched by Deputy First Minister John Swinney in February, targeting undergraduates studying science, technology, engineering and maths subjects as well as people currently working in these industries.

The campaign visited 11 universities and recruitment firs, supported by outdoor and targeted digital advertising, radio features and a dedicated teaching website.

The early evaluation results have shown that almost 3,500 people visited the Teaching Makes People stand, with 1,090 spending significant time discussing a career in teaching. More than 42,000 unique visitors to the campaign website and more than 2,600 registered for updates about applying for a postgraduate teacher education course.

More than a third of undergraduates surveyed, after seeing the campaign, thought teaching was their ideal career, with nearly 60% actively considering going into the profession.

The art of the commute.

By
The commute is a relatively common experience for members of the British public. It is an art form of tired worn people, dancing amongst each other and fighting for seats. The commute is where you will most likely catch every cold of the season. It is where you'll grow extremely well at balancing sue to endless hour's forced into standing due to the seemingly endless shortage of seating. But the worst thing many would say about their daily commute is the boredom. Without a friend of 'travel buddy' on is isolated on the commute.

The art to the commute is to find a way to fight of this boredom. To read is one of the best and most widely adopted method to escape boredoms clutches, however when forced to standing, reading becomes less of a liable option. Another way to d...

Driving Lessons

If you are anything like me you will have put learning to drive off until you absolutely had too. There where a number of things which prevented me from getting behind the wheel, and, unlike most the cost wasn't the biggest thing. No, my biggest worry about driving was my personal disbelief that I, only of eight stone and five feet one inch, could possibly, ever, make something as big as a car move. Every time my mind climbed over the wall that stopped me from thinking I could move the car I was assaulted by fears of endless stalling, the possibility of turning the car directly into a ditch, veering into a car that was overtaking for I failed to remember where the break was, and the ultimate worry that I would turn an inicent by-stander into a pancake. My first ever driving lesson was just before last Christmas. My mother arranged it, refusing to accept my refusals to do it. Thankfully she did arrange it for a tutor from her area and for when I would be visiting for the holid...

Glasgow's River Clyde Back To Health

By
Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham, yesterday confirmed that investment in the River Clyde has helped to tackle pollution and restore habitats. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) which monitors the water quality in Scotland's lochs and rivers has reported the Clyde is in significantly better health than expected thanks to investment by Scottish Water, SEPA, farmers and local authorities. The major improvement project is estimated to result in Scottish Water invest more than £600 million between 2010 and 2021, with the money going into wastewater treatment work and sewerage systems in the area. Meanwhile the Scottish Governments Water Environment Fund (WEF), which is administered by SEPA, has help to restore natural habitats by removing fish barriers and concrete channels to allow fish to reach the upper reaches of the Clyde catchment. The WEF fund has already invested £3.1 million in river restoration projects near Hamilton and Shotts, with more inve...
