It's a poor do when your 4 year old has to call out the casual sexism in his Oxford Reading Tree school book: "But women can be astronauts too!"

Which subjects are on track to meet their postgraduate ITT recruitment targets in England this year? Errr, not that many on the evidence so far...

Here's a thread with a full set of subject-level trend data for this year so far, against an estimated, indicative target path👇

@RebeccAgent These are some of my new favourites!

@LarisaAlikhan @WomenEd @Snotlady5 Very interested in this. Did you undertake any training or courses before making the move?

@UKAPBlackpool I am looking forward to dropping by tomorrow to discuss traffic congestion on an already busy road, impact on the emergency services/ambulances, environmental detriment to plants and animals in Salisbury Woodlands and zero benefit to Blackpool residents.

@Georgeatasda @AsdaServiceTeam So disappointed with this Christmas gift. Followed care instructions exactly, but ruined after one wear/ wash. Nothing "bold" about the quality of this top.

@educationgovuk Wow, this is how bad it has got. Recruitment and retention is in such a crisis that they are calling on retirees or people driven out of the job.

Today I saw schools in Blackpool working in collaboration to improve literacy 📚✏️

Watch this to see how our Opportunity Areas funding is helping schools across the town to improve outcomes for children👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

This BBC graph shows the incredibly low investment in the NHS by the Government from 2010 to the pandemic

It’s a major reason why we had 100,000 staff shortages in early 2020

And why there were millions on waiting lists even then

Please RT so everyone can be clear

4/10 working mums wouldn’t request flexible working in an interview because they thought they'd be discriminated against. For those who do ask, 1/3 are turned down and the vast majority encounter discrimination. Sound familiar? https://t.co/bF3UQZGgbb

@StMarysDT They were telling me, in form, how excited they were to use saws! Bless them 😍

I share the rage & grief at the murder of #SabinaNessa, a daughter, a teacher & only 28 - killed in a public place and found after so many hours.

Every year presents a horrific catalogue of violence but no change to the fact that on average 1 woman is killed every 3 days.

There, fixed it for you @thetimes.
