Changing things in educational settings to best support teacher’s mental health

Currently 1/3 of teachers leave the job after working for 6 years. The pressure put on to teachers is at an all time high. Teachers are currently: educators, nurses, parents, dietitians, counsellors, all in one role. To add onto this role, schools are increasingly criticising and overworking teachers to the point of leaving due to mental health. Currently, this is not a job that people can stay in for a long term amount of time.
