Schools will be more than aware that challenges around teacher retention have significantly intensified following the Covid-19 pandemic.
NFER’s annual series of Teacher Labour Market reports monitors the progress of meeting these challenges, as well as pointing towards actions that are likely to have the greatest impact in addressing them.
NFER Classroom has developed a summary of this year’s Teacher Labour Market in England report that outlines its key findings and recommendations. It also sets out evidence-informed areas of focus and practical actions that school leaders may wish to consider as you take your own steps to relieve workforce pressures.
