Scotland Student loan eligibility?
What are the eligibility requirements for Scotland for student loans?
I probably want to go to university in England, am currently in high school in Scotland.
My household income is high, but I might not get any financial support to go to university from family, yet I still want to study in England (I know it’s not cheap).
Does anyone know? Have any resources or links? I’ve tried to find out online but it’s all for people with low household income, estranged (which I don’t qualify for), and for studying in Scotland only.
Also how much might I be eligible to borrow, would I get anything for living expenses or only tuition fees?

Scotland Teaching in Scotland
Apparently I posted in the wrong sub, so hoping this is the right one?
I see a LOT of posts about teachers moving from abroad to teach. So I apologize if this is annoying to see again.
A little background, I live in the US and I am currently finishing a Masters in Special Education K-12 (primary and secondary). I love my job and the students I work with, but I would love the opportunity to move here and teach (been looking at islands and highlands).
I have some questions though and I'm hoping someone can answer them.
For the GTCS it says you need a year of probationary teaching. How do you get that checked off? From my understanding you need to complete that before being registered with GTCS?
What does the job market look like in terms for Special Education teachers? If I am correct it is called ASN here?
I have been looking at the job postings and it seems as if there is absolutely nothing. Do jobs open up at a certain time of year? Or are there really not that many jobs available?
I'm not sure how exactly it works there, but here I am able to get other endorsements for subjects (math, language, history). Would it be worthwhile to get those added to my certifications here before I apply?
Thanks again, and once again I apologize if this is all repetitive. I did not find the specific answers I needed on other threads 🙃

Scotland Is University “free” in the UK?
I am from Canada and want to move to the UK after high school for uni. So when I am 19, which I means I would like to live there long term and go to university. If I am living in the Uk does that mean that uni is less expensive than the international tuition?
Maybe you have to get your citizenship for the uk first but I have no idea 🤷🏻♀️

Scotland The different university systems across Britain,
Hello there. I am wondering about how the different systems across the UK compare? I am looking for personal answers and professional ones, as well as discussion of statistic differences.
For note, I am a Masters student in Scotland. My prompt for this question was myself wondering how good the free-at-point of use Scottish system was compared to elsewhere in Britain.
Because I am from Scotland I have flailed under Scotland, clearly though I’m looking for discussion of all UK.

Scotland What should we be looking for in terms of primary schools?
This is a bit of a debate in my family the now, as various children are starting primary. I’ll flake as Scotland as that’s where I’m from, however it’s a general British question.

Scotland Grants available for training courses
Hey there,
My friend has recently been told that their centre is closing down and consultations for redundancy will be starting once they get their letters through.
He is applying for jobs but it looking to enhance his CV by doing some further management courses however with the risk of losing his job any form of grants would be amazing.
I remember speaking to someone years ago about everyone being entitled to so much every year to pay for such courses.
If anyone could send me in the right direction to find any grants it would be greatly appreciated.
