Put all primary and senior school teachers on the Shortage Occupation List.

Petition Details

The Home Office has enacted a new settlement threshold for Tier 2 skilled workers, which includes teachers. The Home Office Impact Assessment estimates this will result in the forced departure of 36% of migrant primary school teachers and 9% of migrant senior school teachers as their visas expire.

Additional Information

The Home Office must commission the Migration Advisory Committee to study the teacher recruitment crisis. The HO will need to act on the MAC's recommendation.

Chemistry, physics and maths teachers are already on the SOL but every subject faces staff shortages. Teaching cannot afford to lose essential staff purely because they are underpaid.

42% of migrant nurses would have been forced to leave until nurses were put on the SOL.
