"Brain drain"
A great number of teachers in cash-strapped English comprehensives are now fleeing aboard to other international education destinations, which leads to a phenomenon called " Brain drain". Here are some points for this trend. Many teachers find it better and more proper for them to work overseas rather than in UK state schools. A research at Rosenberg, one of the most dignified institutions in Swiss, found that a large amount of teachers there are foreign teachers from the UK. It also can be seen as an upgrade in facilities for sports, recreation, and class-size there. Besides, it also provides teachers with a better environment to be more inventive, independent, and trusted to concentrate on the quality of teaching rather than crowd management. From the perspective of the education system in the UK, teachers, themselves, have to suffer from extreme workloads, teaching pressures and the lack of other amenities encouraging work-life balance. When working aboard, in contrast, they are offered superior lives with free accommodation, small classes with delightful pupils, reasonable workloads, nice colleagues, no concerns about Ofsted- a non-ministerial department which is responsible for inspecting a range of educational institutions, and better salaries. A poll conducted by National Education Union found that a great proportion of teachers have the intention to quit their jobs in the nearest future, contributed by "out-of-control" workload pressures and excessive accountability at their schools in the UK. When being asked about the probability of going back to English state schools, the majority of teachers said they would never consider coming back to British classrooms, meanwhile, a small subset of them would choose to go back to England to resume their careers. Back to the UK, in the run-up to a general election, all parties tend to pledge more money to ameliorate the teaching environment by increasing teachers' salaries, investigating on high-stakes school inspections. Still, it remains a doubt about the slump in the exodus of teachers, as most teachers, they prefer what they get overseas and are not willing to return where they had left. The alarm bells have been ringing since it can be witnessed a paramount increase in the number of pupils applying for schools over the next few years, while greater numbers of British teachers are being lured by other international institutions. Many schools have considered looking for teachers elsewhere in the world and convincing them to work in English classes because the UK's teachers, themselves, find it hard to get back when they are now aboard.
