The Teaching Bursary Scheme is to encourage more people to retrain as secondary school teachers in selected
STEM subjects and Gaelic at both primary and secondary education. Gaelic being a new addition of academic year
23/24. The scheme was opened by Skills Development Scotland in June 2023.
 
These are the subjects with greatest demand for teachers.  The £20,000 bursary is available for career changers in
the next academic year whilst studying for a PGDE in the relevant subjects.
 
Tanya
 
Howden,
 
from
 
Edinburgh,
 
has taken advantage of the bursary going on to 
train
 as 
a
 
Computer
 
Science
 
teacher.
She
 
said:
 
“Through
 
working
 
with
 
schools 
and
 
seeing
 
the
 
impact
 
we were
 
having
 it 
made
 
me
 
realise
 
that
 
now
 
was
 
the
right
 
time
 
to take
 
a step
 
into
 
teaching.
“But
 
without
 
the
 
bursary
 
it
 
would’ve
 
been
 
a
 
much
 
different
 
story.
 It’s
 
much
 
harder
 
to
 
imagine
 
stopping
 
a
 
full-
time
 
salary
once
 
you’ve
 
become
 
used
 
to
 
having
 
one,
 
and
 
then
 
go
 
back
 
to
 
being
 
a
 
student
 again.
“There’s
 
a
 
lot
 
of
 
academic
 
work
 
that
 
needs
 
be
 
completed
 
within
 
the
 
one
 
year,
 
so
 
there’s
 
no
 
way I
 
could’ve
 
worked
 
part-
time.
 
So
 
it’s
 
a
 
case
 
of
 
all
 
hands
 
on
 
deck
 
on
 
the
 
teaching
 
side.
 
The
 
bursary
 
has
 
taken
 
a massive
 
worry
 
off
 
my
shoulders.”

But without the bursary it would ve been a much different story. It s much harder to imagine stopping a full-time salary once you ve become used to having one, and then go back to being a student again. There s a lot of academic work that needs be completed within the one year, so there s no way I could ve worked part- time. So it s a case of all hands on deck on the teaching side. The bursary has taken a massive worry off my shoulders. For further information please visit https://teachingbursaryinscotland.co.uk/
