Feel free to DM if you don't want to post a public post. We know a few departments are going through this right now. Hoping to find a beacon of light who may have managed to persuade powers at be otherwise 🙏

"Has any CS department successfully defended keeping their CS class size to a max of 20?"
Unfortunately, we are hearing CS classes more & more going up to 30. Has anyone managed to successfully plead the case to stay at 20?

@MrBorlandPhys Don't forget us, Computing Science, a fellow STEM subject ...

“Inevitably, if there are no teachers, you cannot teach the subject,” said Logan.

Computer studies at Scottish secondary schools are facing a crisis as the number of teachers in the subject has dropped to its lowest level in five years, according to the latest Scottish Government data.

The challenges facing Computing Science are so intertwined, but I remain completely optimistic that we can fix them. This isn't an impossible situation – it's fixable! #SaveComputingScience
We need ‘strategic interventions’ to arrest decline, says computing science teaching campaigner. Toni Scullion says latest teacher census numbers are "alarming" for the subject, but recruitment issues can be solved with the right policies

Exclusive: Computing studies ‘pushed to brink’ as new census data reveals teachers of the subject at record low in Scotland. Number of teachers fell to 550 last year, despite campaigners' efforts to promote the subject at national level

😔 💔 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.

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.

Fantastic news! Every high school will offer CS in Michigan by 2027-2028.
CS in Scotland is yet to be a core subject with equity of access. Compared to other traditional STEM subjects, it has the largest gender gap, worst uptake & least amount of teachers

Big news for Michigan students! 🚀 Thanks to @GovWhitmer and @caglanville, every high school will offer computer science by 2027-2028. A huge step toward technological literacy and preparing young Michiganders for the future!
Fantastic to see some examples of how Computing Science impacts other areas of the curriculum being highlighted.
Yet CS compared to the other traditional STEM subjects has the worst overall uptake, largest gender gap, least amount of teachers.

Interesting ideas how #CompSci can influence other curricular areas from @olliebray at the #CompSciConf24
@Emma_Seith Pfft.
If she’s suggesting teachers can easily train in a specialism such as ASN, why not train them in Computing Science, which has the lowest number of teachers in history?!

Progress that should be celebrated but likely unsustainable with important context.
- CS has lowest number of teachers since records began.
- highest age demographic compared to traditional STEM subjects.
- least number of places to train as a CS teacher.

With the different @SQAComputing awards we have in Scotlands schools today #compsci numbers across schools are doing well #CompSciConf24 #stem #compsciedu
"Closing the gender gap in the tech industry isn’t an overnight task, but by putting tangible actions into place & being accountable, businesses across Scotland can make significant progress."
Yet CS is not yet a core subject & no equity of access.

Encouraging women into the Scottish tech sector. Despite growing demand for talent, women remain significantly underrepresented, making up only 23 per cent of the digital workforce, writes Sheila Flavell CBE

The small progress that has been made will inevitably be undone if we don't address the recruitment & retention of CS teachers. Lack of CS teachers means lack of access in a subject that is yet to be a core subject & already has no equity of access.

"CS uptake at school remains an issue for employers who are concerned about the relatively
low numbers of young people participating, & the
decline in CS teachers."
Great to see this being recognised in the recent report.
