Date: 2023
Author/s: Education Policy Institute (EPI)
Keywords: Teacher supply; early career retention

Summary:

This EPI analysis presents six key data visualisations illustrating teacher supply trends including recruitment shortfalls, retention patterns by experience level, regional variations in teacher supply, and the relationship between teacher quality and school disadvantage. The report highlights that retention of early-career teachers has fallen since the previous year but remains above the record low of 2017, suggesting ongoing challenges in retaining new teachers despite government support initiatives.
