A new Education Workforce 2026 Summary Report has been published, which is the culmination of a four-part research series on the education workforce covering early years staff, support staff, school teachers and Further Education (FE) teachers.

New research has revealed a striking divide in England's adult skills landscape.

Matt Walker discusses the government's proposed SEND reforms, including the introduction of individual support plans.

Our latest Annual Teacher Labour Market in England report shows that recruitment into initial teacher training (ITT) increased significantly in 2025/26, and that fewer teachers are also leaving the workforce each year.

New research has found that the longstanding pay gap between teachers in further education (FE) colleges and secondary schools is continuing to widen, with FE teachers earning on average 20 per cent less than their secondary school peers. 

With the government outlining its ambition for every secondary school to have an inclusion base to provide spaces where specialist support is provided for SEND pupils, a new blog from Sarah Tang and Matt Walker explores what we can learn from current inclusion bases about whether they can provide part of a meaningful solution to the SEND crisis.
