Government 'in the dark' over teacher shortage crisis

A critical shortage of science and maths teachers is being made worse by the government being "in the dark" about the full scale of the problem, the Royal Society warned today.

It concludes that there are insufficient numbers of specialist physics, chemistry, biology and maths teachers in schools.

The report urges the government to face up to the problem of teacher shortages, revamp the way it collects data on who teaches these subjects and invest in science and maths teaching throughout the school and college education system.
