Striking teachers
Children’s recovery from the pandemic is being hampered by a workforce crisis which means there are not enough teachers in schools and nurseries, Ofsted warned on Tuesday.
Staff are fleeing the profession for better paid jobs elsewhere as the cost-of-living crisis hits, it said in an annual report. The recruitment crisis means children are in larger classes; many sports, drama and music lessons have not been reinstated after the pandemic; nurseries are closing down and children in care are being destabilised because of the constant churn of staff.
