The issues driving teachers to quit + Major Mexican drug kingpin killed

New research surveying 16,000 Australian teachers over five years has revealed that mid-career teachers are the most likely to quit before retirement. These aren’t new grads struggling through their first years - they’re the mentors, subject leaders, and backbone of our schools. So why are they walking away?

In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by research author and former teacher, Dr Fiona Longmuir from Monash University, who breaks down the two major driving forces behind the exodus, and what schools and governments need to do to retain our best educators.  

Headlines: Authorities say they are deeply concerned for the welfare of a missing grandfather who was kidnapped from his Sydney home more than a week ago, violence has erupted on the streets of Mexico after the local military killed the country’s most powerful drug kingpin, and Prince William and Princess Catherine have made their first public appearance at the BAFTAs since the arrest of  Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
