Yorkshire Post : The UK government has announced that it will fund 100 scholarships, each worth £20 000 ($32 000), to help graduates become high school physics teachers. The scholarship program, which is being run in partnership with Britain’s Institute of Physics, addresses a significant shortfall in the number of graduates who sign up for a course known as Initial Teacher Training (ITT). Last year, 275 fewer trainees were recruited to physics ITT courses than were needed.
