These proposals are by no means exhaustive and there are other areas that must also be addressed. The fundamental issue is that we are currently not recruiting nor retaining enough teachers and this can only be fully addressed through the development of a wide-ranging strategy as we indicated earlier. We think it would be useful to now bring ministers and unions together for a substantial roundtable to discuss and develop the overarching strategy for teacher recruitment and retention and how it can have a wider and faster impact than current and proposed policy interventions. We hope that this paper and our proposals are helpful in promoting our engagement in a constructive dialogue.

Yours sincerely,
