Fixing the 'leaky bucket' with a wellbeing strategy
Improve the drivers of workplace wellbeing, and you improve the sustainability of the workforce. Two years on from Education Support’s teacher retention commission, the urgency of the issue remains.
While there have been some positive policy developments, efforts to improve teacher retention are still too fragmented and too slow. We need a coherent strategy that reflects the scale and complexity of the challenge.
Teacher retention is not just a workforce issue; it’s the cornerstone of educational quality and equity.
If we cannot retain an engaged, skilled workforce, we cannot deliver high standards for children and young people. Retaining talented teachers must be the foundation if we are serious about breaking down barriers to opportunity.
Yet the evidence remains clear: teachers and leaders are not well.
