Closed petition Pay student teachers for their placement and provide bursaries for training
Trainee teachers should be provided with a grant to aid their studies and pay for their travel to placement. Being paid for their hours worked on placement would ensure all students have a fair chance at succeeding at teacher training.
More details
Student teachers cannot work enough hours to live alongside full time placement, therefore they should receive payment for hours worked on placement and/ or a grant to aid their travel to placement. The number of student teachers is falling dramatically due to lack of funding to study and this needs to change.
