In 2020, UCAS figures found that more than 21,000 graduates had applied to teacher training programmes, a rise of 65% on the last five years, signposting a trend in more young people wanting a career in education.
But, as schools continue to open and close due to lockdown restrictions, many students studying for their PGCEs or education qualifications have had to stop in-person primary or secondary school placements, to now switch to online learning and teaching.
So we would like to hear from teaching students about their experiences this academic year and if this has changed their outlook on a career in education.
