This is a growing silent crisis which must be addressed

More teacher vacancies are chasing fewer new trainees, which means a squeeze on teacher supply A thread on the findings from today's NFER Teacher Labour Market report -What is going on? -Why are things so bad? -What to do about it? 👇

The @UniofNewcastle Stephenson Engineering Building is looking good! The building's engineering, the number of young apprentices from across the #NorthEast & the use of local materials are impressive. I'm sure the stunning design will inspire NE engineers for generations.

Very pleased to see students from @UniofNewcastle and @durham_uni at the @93percentclub networking even last night at @newcastlehelix! Brilliantly organised and great turnout ....

It's Christmas! We would like to wish all our Twitter followers, particularly those working in and for schools, a wonderful festive period. Throughout the holiday season, look out for links to some of our highlights over the past 12 months.

Great to hear Prof Steve Jones discussing medical education @NewcastleMedSch with @amolrajan this morning - a typically measured, expert and compelling case for what is needed

'The scale of the crisis is too large'.... an important call to government to recognise that our students need support. No-one can learn effectively if they're cold or hungry. Schools, colleges and universities are doing all they can but government action is needed

Congratulations! Hoping you will enjoy working with the wonderful Helix Arts team!

Politicians have opted to drive a big wedge between teaching and research (in England) – so why is research funding still linked to the tuition fee cap? hepi.ac.uk/2022/09/01/pol…

It is worth remembering that no one, absolutely no one, is calling for domestic tuition fees to rise by 100-200%. Universities are worried that fees have not kept up with inflation of c.10%.
