A record number of teachers in England are leaving the profession, according to figures published by the Department for Education.

High numbers of teachers in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are also reported to be considering leaving the sector.

If you are a parent in the UK with school-age children, get in touch to tell us about the situation in their school. What are turnover rates like? What is the teaching like? How much consistency is there in your child’s education? How are they being affected?

We are also interested in hearing from students about how they’re being affected. If you’re 18 or above, please do get in touch to share your experience.

If you are a teacher, you can share your experience here.
