Targeted funding and more efforts to improve wellbeing are needed in education according to a charity which found three quarters of staff are stressed and two thirds of senior leaders have considered leaving the sector.
Some 59% of all educational staff surveyed have considered quitting in the past academic year due to pressures on their mental health, Education Support said.
The figure for senior leaders alone was 67%, the organisation said.
More than half (55%) of staff who have considered leaving have actively sought to change or leave their current jobs, the survey found.
Education Support said more than two thirds (68%) of the staff who have considered leaving gave volume of workload as the main reason for thinking of quitting.
