The number of teacher and school leadership vacancies last year was two-thirds higher than in pre-pandemic 2019, new data suggests.
Figures shared by job website TeachVac today show 107,063 roles were advertised in 2022.
This marks a rise of 66 per cent from the last pre-pandemic year, when just 64,569 vacancies were advertised.
The data serves as further evidence of a deepening recruitment and retention crisis in the sector.
Last year the government missed its secondary trainee recruitment target for the ninth time in a decade, and also recruited fewer primary trainees than needed.
