A new inquiry into teacher recruitment, training and retention in English state schools has been launched by the education committee.
It comes as schools continue to face huge teacher shortages, with the highest number of vacancies in 11 years being recorded in 2021.
The government has failed to keep up with its own targets for recruiting trainee secondary teachers, missing the mark by 41 per cent last year.
Subjects such as physics, design & technology and modern foreign languages have taken the biggest hit.
