With the shortage of teachers fast becoming a worry for schools and parents across the country, the government have stated that we should be training up more teachers than are needed. Currently there is such a demand for teachers than when a job becomes available, some schools are having to hire staff that they normally wouldn’t purely because they have had very little or no other applicants. This means that the standard of teaching will drop and this will have a huge effect on the quality of education our students receive.

Many students are being put of training to become teachers due to the stress levels that come with the job, which seem to have increased drastically over the last few years. So the hard part is finding a way to encourage more students to train and qualify as teachers. Oversupplying the education market with teachers is seeming to be the only way to get out of this situation.
