London: A growing teacher shortage is threatening the UK’s education system, according to a new report by the National Education Union. The study found that thousands of classrooms across England lack permanent teachers, forcing schools to rely on temporary staff.
Union leaders blamed low salaries, long hours, and rising workloads for the exodus of educators. They have called on the government to raise pay and improve working conditions.
Parents’ groups expressed concern that the shortage could harm children’s learning outcomes, particularly in maths and science.
