Teacher Recruitment, Training and Retention

Non-inquiry session

The Education Committee will hold a deep-dive evidence session to examine policies to improve recruitment, training and retention in the teaching workforce and the Government’s manifesto pledge to hire 6,500 new teachers.

The Committee will question experts from think tanks and key stakeholders in this field. MPs will explore topics such as the best approaches for recruiting new teachers, effectiveness of incentives to stay in the profession, training and career development, workload pressures and shortages in certain subjects.
