Hello Year 5 or 'Сәлеметсіз бе' as they say in Kazakhstan!

We are continuing our Financial and Economic Well-being Week, looking at how much energy we use everyday in our house and how much this costs us.

This thrilling cocktail of fantasy and fairy tale will appeal to children who are just starting to consider and question their position in the world and challenge their parents' insistence to always 'know best'.

Yesterday's Q: Should a nurse get paid the same as a doctor?

Mrs. Hudson: Both professions have played a vital role in our society. They rely on each other and need to work together. Many people have praised the nurses and doctors care they received, when loved ones were not allowed to visit them in hospital. They both need to have degrees, but a doctor's training maybe longer and more specialised, with a doctor needing very high 'A' level and GCSE results. Ultimately doctors are relied on to make important decisions concerning a patient's diagnosis or the treatment they receive, which is probably the reason they get a higher salary. I certainly think that nurses should get paid more though. 

Miss Martin: I certainly don't think nurses are paid enough... The role they play in our society, alongside doctors, is well... life-saving/life-giving! You still need to train to be a nurse and have a specific degree. Although, I think for doctors there's a wider range of areas to specialise in which require more specialised training, which is also longer to study for and therefore may be the reason why their salaries are not the same. We are hugely grateful for our National Health Service (NHS!) and as a society need to think how best to support those job roles and the people in them. 

We look forward to hearing your responses! Log in on Monday for more wonderful learning! Have a great weekend
