I’ve just finished my first year of Teach First. It made a career in teaching viable in a way I simply would never have done otherwise. I understand that retention is a problem, but removing one of the primary mechanisms by which young talent gives teaching a go cannot be the solution.
Said it before - procurement teams across government are being treated like unreproachable Gods and it's absolutely ruining multiple policy areas because they'd don't know what they're doing.
This is *mental*. The TeachFirst brand is worth a vast sum. And DfE proposes to torch all that? Lunatics.

I cannot state this strongly enough: If you are upset about the way this government is treating trans people and immigrants, and you have a Labour MP, for God sake write to them.
