A DECADE of neglect by the Conservative government is driving teachers out of classrooms and could harm children’s education, politicians and unions have warned. 

Analysis by the Labour Party has revealed that newly qualified teachers are more likely to leave the profession than in 2011. 

Teachers who have worked in the job for a year are 25 per cent more likely to quit the profession than 10 years before, while the figure for those with three years’ experience is 17 per cent.
