(asked on 5th September 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to improve the retention of teachers.
This question was answered on 11th September 2017
The 2016 School Workforce Census shows teacher retention rates have remained stable for teachers over the first five years of their careers. We recognised the problem of unnecessary workload when we launched the Workload Challenge in 2014. Our responses to this and the 2016 Teacher Workload Survey set out comprehensive programmes of action to be taken. We continue our extensive work with the profession, teaching unions and Ofsted to support the retention of teachers.
