In November 2020 I was told I had 6 months left to live and was at risk of sudden death, due to a colloid cyst in my brain.
Call for trainee ICT teachers
The scheme is in its third year and is administered by the Chartered Institute for IT on behalf of the Department for Education in conjunction with the National College for Teaching and Leadership. 120 scholarships worth £25,000 will be made available in a bid to secure the best potential ICT teachers, who will begin their training in September 2015.
In the first two years since the scheme was launched by the DfE it attracted over 700 applicants and awarded 178 scholarships. Backing for the scholarships comes from organisations such as Microsoft and Goldman Sachs.
Bill Mitchell, director of education at BCS said: “We are delighted the scholarship scheme is running again this year and are pleased to have the support of a number of leading industry partners who are as passionate as we are about ensuring we attract the very best people to become computing teachers.”
Earlier this month 120 trainee teachers were granted scholarships for 2014/15, 70 per cent of whom held a computing-related degree and 30 per cent of whom were female.
