TEACHER SHORTAGES & EDUCATION RECRUITMENT TODAY

The shortage of qualified teachers is a growing concern in the UK. One major factor is the ageing of the current teacher workforce, with many teachers nearing retirement age. According to the Initial Teacher Training Census for 2022/23, the total number of new entrants to Initial Teacher Training (ITT) is 28,991, a decrease of 20% since 2021/22.

Teacher shortages have far-reaching consequences, including larger class sizes, lower academic achievement, and increased stress on existing teachers. Ways to minimise teacher shortages include:

1. Better working conditions and job satisfaction for teachers

2. Increased support and resources available to new teachers

3. Recruiting and retaining teachers from diverse backgrounds and underrepresented communities

Read on to see how Platinum can help with your education recruitment today.
