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 first mission in the Aurora programme, ExoMars, will search for traces of past and present life. The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, or TGO for short, will be sent out to detect and characterize trace gases in the Martian atmosphere and gain a better understanding of methane and other atmospheric gases that could be evidence of biological or geological activity on the pant service. Set to launch in 2020, the ExoMars rover will search the red planet for signs of biosignatures from past life preserved within the subsurface, using a 2m drill. Prior to the launch of ExoMars, InSight, a NASA mission set to launch next year, will investigate the interior structure and processes of Mars by placing a single geophysical lander on Mars to study its deep interior.
