Re: Help, I want to become a Teacher (UK)..
I'm sure the teachers could advise better but having looked into it myself...
If you want to teach maths or physics, I doubt you'd have a problem, there is a severe shortage of teachers. However, given employment prospects, many recent graduates are turning to teaching.
I also think not all schools offer GTP, especially if you want to be paid:
"Your school will pay you on an unqualified or qualified teacher’s salary (anywhere from £15,461 depending on your responsibilities, experience and location). The TDA may pay the school up to £14,000 to help meet your employment costs as well as a training grant of up to £4,920 depending on the teaching subject and length of programme."
Best thing is to give it a go regardless of the possible competition..
