I can report that much the same exists in the East Midlands. At my school several posts across the curriculum and at different levels have met with a poor response and in one case no applicants for Head of CD. We still use the TES but over the last three years that we have monitored our staffing appointments nearly all the applicants already live within the East Midlands or more specifically within 45 minutes driving time. This is also true of NQTs. People don't seem as prepared in the past to move areas. Anyone in London and the SE with a property would be able to buy a near mansion here! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colin Harber Stuart" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 2:20 PM Subject: Re: Shortage of business and economics teachers > Living as I now do in this huge tract of land (by the > way, most of the dark satanic mills are either outlet > stores or small business units) there doesn't seem to > be a surplus of teachers here either.
