If you or someone you know is an academic, school leader, teacher educator or education professional with an interest in the teaching workforce in schools in WALES, NORTHERN IRELAND, and SCOTLAND, we'd love to hear from you! (Further countries soon - any guesses where next?) 1/2

Yesterday there was an informal meeting of the APPG for the Teaching Profession that discussed the dire numbers for applicants to teacher training. Why don’t graduates want to teach? This teacher shortage crisis must be considered in relation to status https://t.co/zDH66YiLXw

Fantastic opportunity! Please share with any researchers you know interested in supply, training and retention of senior school leaders across the UK 🙏

NEW: Official ITT data from DfE reveals that not enough teachers are entering training to meet the need for future teachers

13 out of the 17 secondary subjects, plus primary, failed to meet their recruitment targets

Happy St Andrew's Day to our Scottish followers! We are looking forward to hearing more from you about your experiences of teacher supply in Scotland. Still time to get in touch with us if you haven't done so already!

We will be sharing more countries in due course, so please keep a lookout for future updates!

We are still looking for any volunteers who have an interest in the teaching workforce in schools in WALES, NORTHERN IRELAND, and SCOTLAND. If this is you or an academic, school leader, teacher educator or education professional you know, we'd love to hear from you! 1/2

🚩Teacher training providers are warning that teacher shortages could become more severe amid the cost-of-living crisis as trainees are forced to drop out of courses & applicants are deterred from applying next year...Here's what @tes found out 👇

[Jack Worth @JackWorthNFER]

First ITT application data for 2023 cycle is out. A couple of interesting things in it, but main health warning is that it is far too early to conclude anything useful

After all, last year's November data was higher than all previous years and... didn't turn out well
