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.

Where have things gone wrong
Governments remain divided over what are the most effective solutions to the workforce challenge. Yet without clarity on the underlying issues, the solutions offered risk making things worse. In this first event in the What Matters in Education? panel discussion series, speakers consider where things have gone wrong and how to put them right.
