Low pay, excessive workloads and bureaucracy behind huge drop in teacher recruits, warns teachers union
LOW pay, excessive workloads and needless bureaucracy are to blame for a huge yearly drop in teacher training recruits, the National Education Union (NEU) warned today.
The number of teacher training applications shot down by a third from 19,330 in December 2016 to 12,820 in 2017, according to Ucas figures.
This includes around 25 per cent fewer trainees in English, maths and science.
