Summary of contents

Longstanding chemistry teacher shortages in England are concerning for the 九州影院 because we believe that all students should have an unbroken chain of experts teaching them the sciences throughout their school education. 

The teacher recruitment and retention crisis should be addressed with long-term solutions that can withstand population and economic fluctuations. 

Crucially, working conditions for teachers need to improve to help retain the current workforce and to make teaching a more attractive career option for new entrants and returners.
