Eight in ten teachers feel undervalued by society, survey says
The survey, which included 600 teachers, also revealed that the proportion who feel that the profession is under-valued jumps to 91 per cent among head teachers, and suggests that the trend continues for senior leaders and supply teachers.
Brett Wigdortz, founder and chief executive of Teach First, added: "As the worrying figures from TES reveal, it is clear that not enough is being done to ensure that teaching is given the status it deserves more widely. This must change.”
