Our latest podcast is out? What happens to the ‘could have beens’ who decided not to teach? @MarkQuinn1968 and @long_enl hear from researcher @EEMacLeod, who says that if we want more people to try out teaching, we have to stop thinking of it as a vocation bit.ly/3OD2jrB

🚨 THE NEW CABINET 🚨
The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has appointed his cabinet.
This new cabinet marks a historic moment in British politics, with a record number of state-educated Ministers and the lowest proportion of privately educated Ministers since 1945 🧵👇

Ever wondered what drives people to become teachers? Then listen back to my show with the excellent Dr Emily Macleod here:

Dr Emily MacLeod (she/her) retweeted
Keir Starmer was right to say in #ITVDebate that "we desperately need more teachers". Our latest postgraduate ITT forecast (based on applications so far up to end of May) is that we expect recruitment to be ~23,000 overall, 10,000 short of the overall target
