Abstract

High-quality teaching is the most important within-school factor influencing pupil achievement, especially for less advantaged pupils. Yet, in England, policy experiments in the diversification of providers has generated regressive inter-local competition, sector instability and contributed to recruitment and retention challenges. Equity in education for children is ill-served by inequitable access to teachers of quality.
