A recent BBC report, details the current crisis with regard to the recruitment of science teachers. In the UK, 1 in 4 schools do not have a specialist Physics science teacher.

The government stands accused of failing to recognise and address the seriousness of the science teacher shortage in England’s schools.

Ministers suggest they are on top of the issue by claiming 7,500 science teachers were hired in a single year.

But science campaigners say the claim is misleading because it includes those teaching many more subjects than physics, chemistry, biology and maths.

The government said science teacher numbers were up 30% since 1997.
