😔 💔 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.
