These figures reveal the scale of the crisis the Tories have created for our schools – Angela Rayner

Angela Rayner MP, Labour’s Shadow Education
Secretary, commenting on the
release of the Schools Workforce statistics showing that more teachers are
leaving the profession than joining, said:

“These
figures reveal the scale of the crisis the Tories have created for our schools.                  

“The Government’s responsibility is to ensure our
schools have the resources they need to train enough teachers. The Tories have
failed to do so.

“This is
a damning verdict on seven years of failure from Conservative governments, and
without urgent action on teacher recruitment and retention, a generation of
children will pay the price for that failure.”
