My apologise for side tracking but as an ex teacher who also had student teachers in the classroom with me, I ask this question: Why do we need teachers trained overseas? What happens to the teachers trained here in the UK?
Here's the answer according to these quotes.
"It is estimated around 15,000 teachers leave the UK each year to join an international school – and nearly half (47%) are dissatisfied with the British education system, according to a recent survey of 1,600 teachers at British international schools by the Council of British International Schools (Cobis)."
"Teacher shortages have become a serious problem in England, where the number of secondary school students is expected to rise by 15% by 2025 and teacher recruitment has consistently fallen short. ... Of teachers who started in 2012, a third were no longer teaching in 2017."
A closer friend's daughter flew out last Wednesday to start teaching in South Carolina. Taught here for 2 years.
Perhaps this needs another thread.
