(79% of supply teachers are women)

and people become supply teachers (who are v poorly paid in spite of profit they generate) for flexibility, because of unplanned absences for caring, chronic ill health, etc

so schools and early years settings need more supply teachers bc absence rates rise as the job gets worse, then schools and settings lose £££ by using private providers, further driving down conditions

this kind of thing!! this is insane schoolsweek.co.uk/schools-pay-...
Schools pay almost 100% mark-up for supply teachers
Average secondary supply teacher pay is £150 a day, but schools shell out £291

we're a non-profit, shoestring-budget, parent-led setting. if *we* can't survive the childcare funding crisis, then few will. 1/3 of settings have closed since 2020 and truly by 2030 unless something changes there'll be almost none left

me and my three year old were on the radio this morning - he's making beef stew out of sand, I'm warning of the looming childcare crisis and its disastrous consequences (we're on at 7:07am, by which point we'd ofc already been up for two hours) www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
