Teaching remains a popular career, but we want to make sure that we can continue to attract and keep the brightest and best graduates, particularly in subjects where specialist knowledge and expertise are vital to the future success of the economy.
The Education Secretary, Damian Hinds has been clear that teacher wellbeing is a priority for him and the department.
