Teach First's popularity 'soaring'

A growing number of graduates are opting to enter a teaching career due to the instability of the current economic climate, it has emerged.

Teach First, a scheme for high-achieving graduates to be trained in inner-city schools, has had record numbers of applications in recent months, reports the Independent.

Over 2,000 people had applied to the programme's 450 places by the end of the year in 2008, a spokeswoman told the news source.

Rhys Parry, who participated in the Teach First scheme, said that entering the teaching profession was "literally one of the best decisions I've ever taken".

"Nothing compares with the moment you first see a pupil or class of pupils engage with, or even enjoy, your hard-planned lesson," the paper quoted him as stating.

Earlier this year the prime minister announced that the number of places on the Teach First scheme is set to increase to 850 by 2013.
