Hundreds of teacher vacancies have gone unfilled over the last three years, sparking fresh fears for recruitment into Scotland’s rural schools. Figures released under freedom of information laws show that, between 2017/18 and 2019/20, nearly 2,800 positions were still empty by the application closing date or attracted zero responses. Twenty-seven of 32 councils provided data, meaning the national total will be even higher. Although general trends are improving in many areas, statistics show non-urban schools continue to be among the hardest hit. The contrast between Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is particularly stark. Just 14 vacancies in Scotland’s third largest city were unfilled between 2017 and 2020. In Aberdeenshire, the figure was 595.
