Region gets 69 new teachers

The probationers have started their induction training and will join schools across Dumfries and Galloway in August for the new term.

Education committee chairman Cllr Richard Brodie, said: “We are ready to support our new probationers wholeheartedly and we look forward to welcoming them to Dumfries and Galloway Council.

“Like many of our children and young people, our new probationers have had to learn online as part of their training, so they will understand the challenges that our young people are currently facing and be able to support them.

“We wish them all the best for rewarding careers that will have a positive impact on thousands of young people in the coming years.”
