Yorkshire Bylines | Teach First
For many of those who have been trained by or worked with Teach First, this idea of floating between careers, in particular between public and private sector roles, bringing the connections and insider information along, will make perfect sense. That does not mean it makes sense for the teaching profession or those who rely on it, as 22 years of Teach First have demonstrated. Instead, all efforts should be dedicated to making teaching a more attractive profession to join and remain in for the long haul. Teachers need higher salaries, more funding, lower workloads, more trust. That is the real message from this new report. Not lie-ins, lucrative contracts or private sector influence.
