Out-of-work teachers angry over ‘waiting game’ for jobs

More than 2000 teachers are calling for an overhaul of the recruitment system in Scottish schools.

The group said there was an “unacceptably large” number of unemployed teachers who were “desperate” to find jobs.

They have written an open letter to education secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville, and teachers are being encouraged to tweet her en masse to call for urgent action.

The Scottish Government said it would do “everything it can” to maximise the number of available teaching jobs.

The first line he says - says it all. ‘The Scottish Government need to be honest’ . He’s gonna wait an very long time before that happens. He’s more likely to get a stick of rock and a set of coasters from Sturgeon, Swinney and Yousaf when they returned from their holidays, while Scotland recorded the highest cases in Europe.
