Recommendation 18

18 Paragraph: 88

Reverse decision to remove Now Teach funding, utilising all channels for recruitment.

Conclusion
Given the extent of the teacher recruitment challenge, in particular severe shortages being faced in certain secondary school subjects (see chapter 5) the Department should be using all available channels to recruit specialist secondary teachers. The decision to remove funding from Now Teach undermines efforts to improve teacher recruitment.
