Episode Details

Teachers unions in the UK are advocating for a significant increase in maternity pay, from four weeks to twenty-six weeks, to retain women in their thirties in the classroom. The current system is criticized for its weak support, driving many out of the profession. A poll reveals that 95% of teachers struggle to balance work and parenting, and 70% considered leaving due to the impact on their children. The union is launching a campaign for better maternity, paternity, and flexible work rights, aiming to address the high quit rates among teachers in their thirties.
