Reinstate ITT bursaries for all subjects

Closed 46 signatures

What the petition asks

Reinstate ITT bursaries so we are able to financially support ourselves during training. It is not enough to live off a student loan we eventually pay back. That basically means we almost have nothing to live on.
It is unfair that many trainee teachers have seen bursaries removed for their subjects. Every teacher goes through similar training. Every trainee teacher needs to be able to support themselves financially, especially as teaching hours means many cannot have a second income. This will have an impact on low income families.
