Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary provide a breakdown of the current levels of teacher shortages by subject?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Education
Data regarding the teaching workforce including vacancies and applications per post per subject can be found in our school workforce census statistical release at School Workforce Census results: as at November 2023 | GOV.WALES and on StatsWales. The next scheduled release will be 16 July.
Data on initial teacher education recruitment can be found at Initial teacher education | GOV.WALES. Due to issues in receiving data from the Higher Education Statistical Authority (HESA), statistics for 2022/23 academic year were delayed. Officials are working to publish both data for the 2022/23 and 2023/24 academic years as soon as possible.
