Schools are “haemorrhaging” staff with two in five teachers planning to quit the profession within the next five years because of their unbearable workloads, a major union has warned.
Despite government efforts to tackle the issue, the majority of teachers (56 per cent) say their work-life balance has worsened over the past year, a survey for the National Education Union (NEU) has found.
Teachers said that funding cuts had led to increased hours and greater responsibilities. One said he no longer has time for autistic pupils in his class after 21 members of support staff were cut.
