Exploring Teacher Recruitment and Retention: contextual challenges from international perspectives, edited by SIG convenors Ovenden-Hope and Passy, has been well received and is recommended reading for FED (Foundation for Education Development) and the All Party Parliament Group on the Teaching Profession. However, as ITT applications increase in England as a response to the pandemic and the resulting economic crisis, the issue of teacher recruitment and retention is seen to be less urgent. However, evidence from previous recessions where increases in public sector roles, including teaching, were identified; there has was an increase in teacher attrition when the economy recovered (Hutchings, 2010). It is likely that as graduate jobs in the private sector become more available, we will once again be challenged by teacher supply. We therefore believe that the book is relevant and has a place for situating policy maker consciousness about how a sustained and high quality supply of teachers can be achieved. Please join this seminar to hear from and pose questions to the authors.
