We value diversity in the workforce but want the best people in the classroom regardless of their gender. Evidence shows that the quality of teaching is the single most important factor in schools that determines how well pupils achieve. Teaching continues to be a hugely popular career with more teachers in England\u2019s classrooms than ever before and record levels of top graduates entering the profession. We are pleased that the quality of entrants to initial teacher training, as measured by degree class, remains high, with 17% of postgraduate entrants, a new record, holding a first class degree. The Government continues to take decisive action to ensure we have high quality teachers in classrooms across the country.<\/p>
