UK Schools Facing Crisis Situation As Baby Boomers Retire
Posted December 9, 2007
Britain is facing a schools crisis with more than 75 per cent of current head-teachers, the baby boomer generation born in the Fifties, retiring within 10 years and little sign the younger generation is willing to step into the breach. Government projections seen by The Observer show that 25 per cent of headteachers are due to retire within five years, and that 58 per cent are due to retire within 10 years of the normal pension age, which until 1 January this year was 60. Younger teachers are unwilling to take on the responsibility and the bureaucratic burden of the role, despite improved pay rates.
