Only half of required number of trainee secondary teachers in England recruited
Summary:
The Guardian newspaper article provided a view of the shortages in initial teacher training recruitment in 2023, when half of the required number of trainee secondary school teachers in England were recruited for the 2023-24 training year. The article reports on figures from the National Education Union (NEU) and the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) that indicated the target for secondary trainee teacher recruitment was missed by 48%. All subjects except history, PE and classics were affected. The article contains the strong concerns expressed by the unions at this time.
