Teachers are to be offered cash incentives to stick with the profession as part of the government’s strategy to increase the number of people working in the sector.

Teachers are to be offered up to a year’s paid sabbatical, in a bid to improve retention rates in the profession. In an address to more than 350 school leaders in Liverpool, education secretary Damian Hinds will announce the £5m scheme.

The National Teaching Service was first introduced in 2015 by then Secretary of State for Education, Nicky Morgan MP. Her goal was to recruit 1,500 elite teachers and leaders to work in struggling schools across England to ensure that all children have access to high levels of education, regardless of where they live.

Should schools follow this approach and become more digital?
