"With the Easter holidays almost over how many of us are looking forward to all the things we can get done during study leave? If assessment & question writing is on your to-do list our upskilling event is a week today at 7pm on connected.stacs.scot " #UpskillWithSTACS

😔 💔 to see this, but not at all surprising! CS continues to have the least number of teachers compared to traditional STEM subjects, the least places to train as a teacher, the worst overall uptake and the largest gender gap. #SaveComputingScience

It's concerning to see that the number of CS teachers in Scotland has fallen further to 550, down from the already critically low figure of 578 reported last year. #SaveComputingScience gov.scot/publications/t…

Exclusive: Computing studies ‘pushed to brink’ as new census data reveals teachers of the subject at record low in Scotland. Number of teachers fell to 550 last year, despite campaigners' efforts to promote the subject at national level ⬇️ futurescot.com/computing-stud…

We need ‘strategic interventions’ to arrest decline, says computing science teaching campaigner. Toni Scullion says latest teacher census numbers are "alarming" for the subject, but recruitment issues can be solved with the right policies ⬇️ futurescot.com/we-need-strate…
