§ Chris GraylingTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the scope and content is of the research project she is commissioning into the reasons why teachers are leaving the profession. [10406]
§ Mr. TimmsWhen the scope and nature of the study is finalised, we expect it to explore the factors affecting teachers' decisions to leave the profession, the characteristics of those leaving, their destinations and what might have convinced them to stay in teaching. This is likely to involve a nationally representative survey as well as more detailed in-depth work.
