Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many Teach First teachers remain in the teaching profession after (a) two years and (b) five years.

Teach First do not retain records for those starting the programme but do retain the data of their programme participants who go on to become ambassadors for the programme. After 2 years, 63% of Teach First ambassadors were still in teaching and after 5 years 56% of ambassadors were still in teaching.
