The Eduication Support Commission on Teacher Retention, supported by Public First, has published its final report on the state of the teaching profession in England’s secondary schools in 2023.
Highlight results include:
- 78% of teachers said they would be likely to leave the profession if they were offered a job in another sector which promised a better work-life balance.
- 21% of secondary school teachers said they were unlikely to be in the profession in five years’ time.
- 72% of secondary teachers said they were helping students with non-academic matters relating to mental health and cost of living issues.
- 31% of teachers said their work-life balance was either bad or very bad.
The Commission of Teacher Retention makes recommendations that call for the complete overhaul of the working conditions of the teaching profession.
