<p>The Department for Education has not estimated the financial costs of replacing
a teacher who leaves a school as teacher recruitment is undertaken directly by schools
and local authorities.</p><p> </p><p>Evidence is clear that being taught by a good
teacher has a significant impact on how well pupils achieve. We are therefore supporting
schools to attract and retain high quality teachers, minimising any disruption to
children’s learning. Official statistics show that teacher vacancy rates are declining
and retention remains stable, with the majority of new teachers still teaching after
five years. Children in England now have the best chance they have ever had of attending
a good or outstanding school.</p><p> </p>
