You know, one of these days I'll find a happy article about teaching to post ;) I think the statistic is something like 72% of all trainee and NQTs are leaving, it's a ridiculously huge number that is backed up anecdotally by friends and family. My theory is the government are trying to privatise all schools, so by pushing these high workloads and shifting targets they can point at public schools and loudly proclaim they aren't working. Heck, free schools and turning into an academy are already halfway towards privatisation and the government is heavily pushing those at the moment.
