A new study on racial equality in the teacher workforce research has revealed significant disparities in teacher career progression.
The report, by the National Foundation for Educational Research in partnership with Ambition Institute and Teach First, finds that the most significant ethnic disparities in teacher career progression occur during early career stages, especially in postgraduate initial teacher training (ITT).
The research is the latest action on our commitment to developing longer-term and evidence-based solutions to this issue. Back in December 2020, Ambition’s CEO outlined our vision for increasing focus on racial equality, reflecting on how to take action that will move us forward, but wanting to make sure that we use and apply the same rigour and evidence-led approach that is so important to our values and that we apply to our professional development programmes.
