Teach First argues that granting teachers more flexibility in their work hours and environment is crucial for attracting and retaining recruits amid a significant staffing crisis.
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson emphasizes the government’s commitment to recruit 6,500 new teachers, highlighting the need for improved work-life balance to appeal to potential candidates.
Dixons Academies Trust has implemented a nine-day fortnight, allowing teachers to enjoy an extra day off every two weeks, which aims to enhance job appeal.
Teach First is advocating for flexibility entitlements, enabling teachers to take short secondments or career breaks, helping them transition between sectors and improve retention.
