Schools in England missed their target for recruiting computing teachers by 25% last year, according to IT professional body BCS’s latest report on computing education. It is at least the fifth year in a row in which the target has been missed.

The Department of Education’s target for the 2021/22 academic year was to recruit 840 new computing teachers, a 35% increase from the previous year’s target, but only 589 new recruits signed up.
