Teaching is by no means an easy job but there is so much demand for them that if you work hard and prove yourself you can very quickly move up the ladder.
With the population increasing there is more demand than ever for schools which in turn means a higher demand for teachers. Over the last few years many teachers have actually chosen to leave the profession often due to too much pressure and not liking the way education and teaching is changing.
There are huge incentives to attract new people in to teaching for example you could get a £26,000 bursary or be awarded a prestigious scholarship – which provides additional support and benefits throughout your training year. You may get more money if you chose to study a certain subject such as Maths where you can often get £30,000 – a £20,000 tax-free bursary while you train and a further £10,000 after tax once in teaching.
Even if you do not qualify for this you may be able to receive loans (which are usually little or no interest) to fund the training and may be able to actually earn a salary whilst you train.
