An apple – or even a mangle – for the teacher in new school

Students at a new school of social care will be able to pay their teachers in kind, by offering them biscuits, tips on fundraising, or even the kitchen sink, according to those behind a launch on Monday.

The Trade School Glasgow is billed as an alternative learning space, which will run on barter.

The first of its kind in Scotland, it is based on a model already open for business in New York, London, Singapore and Barcelona.
