Today, Thursday 9th June 2022, the Department for Education has released the latest data on the school workforce, collected in November 2021.
Commenting on the proposals, James Zuccollo, Director for School Workforce at the Education Policy Institute (EPI), said:
“It is reassuring to see that teacher retention rates had not, on average, worsened since the previous year. However, this data was collected in November 2021, so most of the decisions to stay or go were made in early 2021, when schools had very recently been closed and Ofsted inspections were still suspended. Consequently, this data may not reflect a post-pandemic world.
