answer text <p>The department’s priority continues to be to maintain high-quality, face-to-face education for all children and young people. Temporary staff, including supply teachers, have played a key role in this as schools have faced higher workforce absence rates, particularly over Winter, due to the Omicron variant. We remain hugely grateful to all school and college staff for their work, which has consistently kept over 99.9% of schools open this term.</p><p>The department is extremely grateful to all the teachers who responded to the campaign. Our ambition was for as many teachers as possible to make themselves available and return to the classroom as supply teachers, supporting schools to maintain face-to-face education. Each one is making a difference to the education of their pupils and makes a valuable contribution to our aim of maintaining face-to-face education in schools.</p> more like this
