According to the NFER, Teachers experience excessive job-related stress.

The National Foundation for Educational Research claims that compared to other occupations, teachers experience more stress at work (NFER).

The report indicated that one in five teachers felt stressed about their job most of the time or always, compared to 13% of those in comparable jobs, as a result of expanding student enrollment and a rising percentage of instructors leaving the profession.

Although teachers worked similar hours throughout the year as other professions, the NFER found that working hard for fewer weeks of the season resulted in a worse full resolution and higher levels of stress.

According to Dr. Mary Bousted, joint general secretary of the National Education Union, the survey confirmed long-held worries about the stress that teachers experience.

We are aware of the reasons why so many people quit their jobs so soon, she said. "It is all too usual for good teachers to abandon the profession when confronted with unmanageable workloads, unending accountability, a testing culture run amok, and flat or underfunded pay arrangements year after year."

The NFER demanded immediate action to solve the shortage of prospective teachers amid a sharp decline in early career teachers' employee retention, emphasizing the greater job stability graduates can obtain outside of the industry.

"England's schools are encountering severe issues in attracting and maintaining adequate amount of teachers," the report's co-author Jack Worth stated. The working circumstances for teachers must be clearly improved, with an emphasis on making the teaching profession more manageable and viable.

The department of education released its Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy in January to tackle the increasing teacher shortage by lowering duties and streamlining the application process. The report was released shortly after.

Damian Hinds, the education secretary, stated: "Since I decided to take this role a year ago, I've managed to make trimming down the amount of superfluous and cumbersome task teachers face my top priority - to tackle the problems outlined in this fact sheet and free teachers to concentrate on what they entered the career path for: teaching."
