UK Teacher Recruitment Surges, STEM Subjects See Biggest Gains
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
Education in England sees a surge in teacher recruitment, with a 11% increase in trainees this year, marking the strongest recruitment period since the pandemic. Primary schools exceeded their target by 126%, while secondary schools saw a significant improvement from 61% to 88%. STEM subjects, particularly math and physics, saw a substantial rise in trainees. However, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson warns that sustained growth and better pay are needed to fully address staff shortages. The increase in trainees from outside the UK or Europe is also a concern due to proposed immigration reforms.
