Probably going to have to turn down my Oxford PGCE offer because I can’t afford it on the student loan alone (and can’t work as it’s a full time job in schools!).
The Govt scrapping ££££ bursaries for English and humanities teachers only means wealthy students training. 🤷🏻♀️

This is a serious concern for anyone who cares about
A) the teaching of key subjects like history has wider critical thinking
B) meritocracy
C) the well-being of students, with staff who can empathise on the challenges of state schooling

2020/2021 versus 2021/2022. Horrible stuff. These bursaries were in place for a reason - so we can survive! 
Funding is limited and the University of Oxford would cover a couple of grand, but certainly not enough to get by and not have to worry about travel to schools and their expensive accommodation (200-300 more than my current flat in London!).
Genuinely painful realisation this.
