Teach First
Teach First recruited 560 graduates last year making them the fourth largest graduate recruiter in the UK. Graduates are currently placed in schools in the East Midlands, London, the North West, the West Midlands and Yorkshire. Most placements are for secondary schools but there are some opportunities in the primary school sector. Places are expected to double by 2012, particularly in science, maths, ICT, design & technology, so that the programme will be available across England and Wales. More information from www.teachfirst.org.uk
Curriculum Changes and GTC scrapped
The introduction of the new Primary Curriculum and the new Diplomas in science, humanities and languages (both due in September 2011) have both been scrapped.
Also to be scrapped following the Government Review are two major national quangos, the General Teaching Council (GTC) for England and Wales and the Curriculum Development Agency. Other quangos are still under review.
Teacher Unemployment Rises
The number of teachers claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance climbed from 2,610 in July 2008 to 4,580 in July this year. The number of unemployed primary teachers has almost doubled over the two years.
But there are still plenty of vacancies for teachers in London and the South East as councils prepare for the impact of the 2008 “baby boom”.

Eteach Introduces New Talent Pool Facility
Teacher Recruitment Agency Eteach have launched a new facility that enables jobseekers to register online and create an instant online CV with the schools of their choice at any location around the UK and Northern Ireland.
The claim from Eteach is that the facility will give them a better chance of getting a job because scholls will look at the talent pool CV’s will be looked at first.
Unfortunately, coverage of Cumbria schools is currently non-existent and only a few schools in Lancashire have registered. However this is an interesting initiative and will certainly be very useful to students and Newly Qualified Teachers applying to areas where Eteach have a stronger presence.
