What questions are the Department for Education currently researching about education in our schools?
This document is part of a broader engagement between the department and the research community and sets out areas where the DfE is interested in more research and new evidence.
The purpose of this Areas of Research Interest (ARI) is to raise awareness amongst the external research community of the main DfE research priorities. I've re-posted some of the questions highlighted in this document. It is important to look at this document for the full set
A great read, and I agree with the questions you’ve added to your list. I think my question would be: ‘Are there any immediate adjustments that can be made to teacher terms, conditions, workload or progression that would signal sufficient benefits to retain teachers on the edge of leaving?’ And (sub question: ‘How do these compare in cost/impact terms to the provision of substantial tax-free bursaries to attract new teachers, or plans to introduce sabbaticals?’
That’s a great question Jo. Sabbatical is one answer, but at system level, nothing will change without significant funding and a teacher pay rise.
