Since 2011 the overall number of teachers has in general not kept pace with increasing pupil numbers. This means the ratio of qualified teachers to pupils has increased from 17.8 in 2011 to 18.5 in 2020. In addition, the number of teacher vacancies have risen over this period.

More recently there has been an increase in initial teacher trainees, likely due to the wider economic impacts of Covid-19. In 2020-21 overall recruitment of initial teacher trainees was 15% above target (6% above target for secondaries and 30% above for primaries). This was the first time the overall target was achieved since 2011‑12 and so is not likely to have reversed shortages which have built up over several years, particularly in certain secondary subjects such as maths and physics which remained below target.

Overall pupil numbers are expected to decrease slightly by 2026, driven by a 7% decrease in nursery and primary pupils which is only expected to be partially offset by a 7% increase in secondaries and increases in other school types. This should alleviate pressure on primary teacher recruitment, however pressures are likely to continue for secondaries and non-mainstream schools. In addition, other factors such as the ambition for more pupils to take the English Baccalaureate combination of GCSE subjects, and the impact of exiting the EU means that overall pressure on teacher recruitment could continue.
