Sorry to be cynical but IF (huge if) you can recruit 6,500 teachers, it’s clear that most of them will leave anyway unless there are more drastic changes. If behaviour, accountability, lack of flexibility, pressure etc remain as they are - it’ll just be more of the same.
On pressure:
Part of this is a culture change. Ppl need to chill the hell out and remember that education is supposed to be enjoyable and dare I say it - sometimes - fun. Not a rigorous mechanical process that everyone must go through or we are failing kids etc. everyone, esp leaders, need to calm down and just let teachers teach and not worry about do now tasks not being done or if branded PowerPoints aren’t being used or if lesson tasks ‘appear’ to be not exactly what they want etc. controversial I know - but I think everyone needs to just slow down and dial it down a few notches and follow the lead of other countries in this too.
