Teaching Jobs in Scotland
Scottish universities and colleges continue to produce high-calibre teachers who are able to fill teaching jobs in the UK and teaching jobs across the world, however the only problem is that there is a vast shortage of teaching jobs in Scotland for those who wish to start their career there.
Not Enough Teaching Jobs in Scotland for Newly Qualified Teachers
Due to recent economic challenges and budget cuts, there have resulted in fewer teaching jobs in Scotland for new and young teachers. A recent study by the General Teaching Council for Scotland found that fewer probationer teachers are finding full-time teaching jobs in Scoland and many newspapers are reporting that fewer than one in between ten and six new teachers in Scotland is able to find a permanent teaching job in Scotland.
