Teachers leaving the job

  • One of the main reasons teachers leave the profession is the workload.
    • "For me, it was the way I was being treated, as well as the absolutely obscene workload: clocking up 50 hours a week and then having to do reports and other non-teaching related activities in your own time." (Interview on The Guardian, 2023)
  • Using AI to automate marking and report writing will greatly reduce such workload.
