About this episode
Panel discussion on Teachers Talk Radio exploring a YouGov poll, rising recruitment but worsening retention, and the everyday realities driving staff out of classrooms.
Panelists Tom Rogers, Liz Webb, Jo Fox, Rae Whitehouse, Carl Smith and Lucy Trimnell debate workload, behaviour, accountability (Ofsted), pay and support staff pressures, and share personal experiences about the emotional and practical strains of modern teaching.
The show also highlights solutions discussed by the panel - better funding, clearer boundaries, improved maternity provisions and a less punitive inspection culture alongside announcements for Teachers Talk Connect and Hachette Learning resources.
