There have been major adjustments made all over the world one of them was to the education system. For a fact there was a shift on how education was provided to children via Zoom and other methods. Young ones had to get used to the fact that they would be home schooled till the virus had a way of being controlled.
Scotland has come across the problem of finding teachers for when they eventually do plan on opening schools where children can physically come to school. The communities did not have to be told as there were millions of pounds being donated to help recruit a 1000 teacher for the education system. There was additional £50 million also pledged that will support COVID-19 education recovery as schools return to full time face-to-face learning. The announcement meets another commitment for the first 100 days of this government.
In addition, £65.5m permanent funding will be allocated annually to councils from 2022-23, which will help remove barriers to councils employing these additional staff on permanent contracts and meet the local needs of children and young people.
Ms. Somerville made the statement that:
“Our vision for COVID recovery and our priorities for Scottish education remain unchanged. Recruiting more permanent staff will be one of the cornerstones of recovery alongside the health and wellbeing of pupils and staff intensified support for reducing inequity, and enabling the highest quality of learning and teaching.
“The £50 million funding will allow councils to recruit more teachers and pupil support assistants next year. Looking further ahead, the additional £65 million annual funding delivered as part of the local government settlement will support councils to recruit these additional staff on permanent contracts.”
