What the petition asks
Trainee teachers should be provided with a grant to aid their studies and pay for their travel to placement. Being paid for their hours worked on placement would ensure all students have a fair chance at succeeding at teacher training.
Student teachers cannot work enough hours to live alongside full time placement, therefore they should receive payment for hours worked on placement and/ or a grant to aid their travel to placement. The number of student teachers is falling dramatically due to lack of funding to study and this needs to change.
