Scottish Government · Central government

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

What the notice says

The workload, expectations and demands on teachers has increased. While we can pinpoint different factors contributing to increasing workloads, we don’t know enough about how these manifest themselves for teachers, nor how they vary at different career stages, in different school contexts (high school, primary etc) or across different roles (principal teacher, department head, management etc). This Challenge seeks to reduce teacher workload by developing a strong understanding of the reality of teachers’ different, varying experiences and so drive the development of products that teachers (and related professions) want to use and make a real impact on reducing workload.
