@GulwaliP @OfficialUoM @ManchesterSU @thesixthformB6 Great to see you as always. Very proud of you and all of your achievements Gulwali.

The best advocates for our UoM PGCE course @UoMTeach_ed @MurtaghLisa @getintoteaching are our trainee teachers. It's great to work with those who love teaching economics and business as much as I do. https://t.co/3G2NjO6RVE

@JackWorthNFER What's your view on why there's no bursary for Business Studies? I wrote to the DfE last year, who told me focus was on EBacc subjects for bursary support, so why Art and Music and not Business?

[Bob Hindle @BobHEcon]

@FFTEduDatalab It's great to see numbers rising for both business studies and for economics. Yet 18.5% of lessons in these subjects were taught by a non specialist teacher say @SchoolsWeek Time for a training bursary for Bus and Econ pgce students @GillianKeegan

@aarif_abraham Lovely place. Enjoy and stay safe

[Bob Hindle @BobHEcon]

@Ofstednews Looking forward to the publication covering economics and business studies. Any date for that?

[Bob Hindle @BobHEcon]

@DianeCoyle1859 @ruskin147 Many congratulations Diane

@annastansbury Good luck finding an economics teacher. Only 20 people took a pgce in econ in 21/22, 10 the year before. Numbers for this year lumped in with business. Arguably hardest to recruit at comprehensives https://t.co/Md1M8HZN2f

Fantastic session for our PGCE trainees with Sarah from OCR today on assessment and supporting gcse business students with exam skills @UoMTeach_ed

[Cambridge OCR Business & Economics @OCR_BusEcon]

Great to talk to the @OfficialUoM Institute of Education PGCE Business and Economics trainees this afternoon. Good luck with your future careers, and keep in touch! #BusinessTeacher #EconomicsTeacher

@tutor2uGeoff @tutor2u Congratulations Geoff. Pleased to hear that the economics student and teacher community get to keep you for longer. Good luck with whatever's next.

@carolecadwalla @ObserverUK @allthecitizens Sir Malcolm Rifkind was also chair of the parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee (2010-15) whilst he chaired Conservative Friends of Russia.

@JohnSimpsonNews The best of the BBC and a great writer too. Found A Mad World My Masters such an inspiring read.

[Bob Hindle @BobHEcon]

@JackWorthNFER The figure for Business Studies is misleading. The 2019/20 numbers were incredibly low, around 140. The 2022/23 numbers are well down from 20/21 and 21/22. It's a real concern for school and college recruitment.

[Bob Hindle @BobHEcon]

@DiscoverEcon @LSEEcon @FCDOGovUK @bankofengland Be an economics teacher. Lots of demand from schools and colleges and job satisfaction in enthusing young people in the subject you love.

[Bob Hindle @BobHEcon]

@GulwaliP Congratulations! Best wishes to you both

[Bob Hindle @BobHEcon]

@tutor2u_graham Great news Graham. Enjoy life.

[Bob Hindle @BobHEcon]

@arunadvaniecon Very much so. JCQ A level entry data show economics students are more likely to be from the independent sector than in almost all other subjects. Perhaps a product of some schools pulling the subject when they can't find a teacher.

[Bob Hindle @BobHEcon]

@yousufhamid The response is that the focus of the bursary is on subjects in the EBacc.

[Bob Hindle @BobHEcon]

@yousufhamid We can only estimate the number of new pgce economics trainees. I asked and the DfE say numbers are within the count for Business
