Teacher recruitment, retention and development – rethinking policy and practice priorities
03 July 2023, 5:30 pm–7:00 pm
Teacher recruitment, retention and development are global issues. Yet governments have struggled to find effective and sustainable solutions to this crisis. In this panel discussion, policymakers, researchers and practitioners debate what attracts teachers to join the profession, what encourages them to leave and the best ways to address the current staffing crisis in UK schools.
