Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the retention figures are for (a) primary and (b) secondary school teachers who began their employment in each of the last five years.
Answered by Nick Gibb
Retention rates for all teachers by phase are not available.
Published statistics are available that show the retention rates for newly qualified teachers (not split by phase). The latest information is contained in the following table. It shows around 90% of teachers continue in the profession following their first year of teaching (and this has been the case since 1996). Of the teachers who started teaching in 2010, 70% were still teaching five years later.
