This conference discussed issues around the implementation of the teacher recruitment and retention strategy as well as the priorities for supporting effective teacher recruitment and retention in England.
The agenda brought out latest thinking on attracting future teachers into ITE, incentivising newly qualified teachers to enter and remain in the profession, and creating pathways for future career development.
Discussion also focused on how Government, schools, universities and other stakeholders can work together to achieve success in these areas, and will consider how institutions could alleviate some of the key stress points that have led to reductions in the recruitment and retention of teachers.
Further sessions examined the opportunities for improving the attractiveness of teaching as a profession to both new and current teachers. There was also discussion on the implementation of the Early Career Framework announced alongside the overall strategy.
