Recommendation 37
37
Paragraph: 150
Addressing teacher shortages requires both recruitment and retention, supported by attrition data
Conclusion
High attrition rates in shortage subjects mean that a two-pronged approach is needed to address subject specific teacher shortages. This should look at the retention of existing teachers in addition to the recruitment of new teachers. Reliable data on the number of teachers leaving by subject and the reason for their departure are also needed, to better understand attrition rates.
