Head teacher shortage 'looming'

Schools in England and Wales are finding it increasingly difficult to fill vacant head teachers' posts, research has found.
Half of all primary schools received five or fewer applications when they advertised a headteachers' post, the study found.
The biggest problems were in London, where 40% of primary school headships had to be re-advertised after failing to attract sufficient good quality applicants.
The study's compilers said the survey showed schools had little choice in who to appoint - and said the recruitment situation had never been worse.

校長短缺『迫在眉睫』

研究發現，英格蘭和威爾士的學校都發現越來越難以填補校長職位的空缺，

研究發現，當他們刊登一個校長的職缺廣告後，一半的小學收到五個或更少的校長申請書。 最大的問題是在倫敦，有40％的小學在未能吸引到足夠的優質校長後不得不重新公佈。

這項研究的作者說，調查顯示學校別無選擇任命誰當校長，且從來沒有更壞的招聘情況
