New Training Courses to Tackle Food Teacher Shortage: Leiths Education and University of Roehampton Announce National Qualifications, Leiths Education has teamed up with the University of Roehampton to introduce two new national qualifications designed to address the growing shortage of food technology teachers in schools. These qualifications aim to fast-track the recruitment and training of food teachers, responding to an urgent need in the education sector. The number of food technology teachers has steadily declined, with only 3,745 teachers recorded for the 2022-23 academic year—a 4% drop from the previous year and part of a concerning decade-long trend.[1]...
Just how safe are borax based fluxes used in soldering and brazing?, ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE for the use of BORAX BASED FLUXES in Schools and Colleges. Many of you will have picked up on the changes to the WeldabilitySIF COSHH Material Safety Data Sheet for their Borax based fluxes and for most of us via the 2016 SIFBronze flux data sheet. This rang alarm bells for many in schools as if we applied this on the basis of the work exposure hazard headlines, we would be thinking seriously whether young women or girls should be engaging in...
Supporting Academies Transition to the current National Curriculum for Design & Technology, Are you concerned about the recent decision to review the National Curriculum by the new government?

Secondary, Secondary Design and Technology builds on the skills and knowledge pupils have already learnt at primary school. It leverages increasingly sophisticated resources, including dedicated teaching environments, manufacturing equipment and specialist teaching. As students progress through this phase, they may be given the opportunity to focus on specific aspects of the subject such as product design, food technology, engineering, systems and control, electronics, textiles and graphics. However, at its core is creativity and imagination. Students learn to design and make products that solve genuine, relevant problems within different contexts whilst considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. To...
