Only HALF of the required number of trainee secondary teachers in England have been recruited for 23/24.
But we still have OFSTED operating in the same way, we still have UK teachers getting less PPA than global counterparts, we still have teachers and schools getting measured by student exam scores, we still donβt have dynamic and flexi ways of working embedded into the profession. Workload is still ridiculously high for far too many. Itβs simply not worth it in the post pandemic context.
Govt doesnβt want to make the radical changes required. The status quo is much easier.
