The Hunt for Maths and Science Teachers

Maths and Science teachers are extremely scarce.  Maths teachers especially, are becoming like gold dust!  Teachers of subjects like Art, History, Business Studies and French are usually quite plentiful on the other hand.  Many students who graduate with Science and Maths degrees seem to favour going down a route other than teaching, which is a shame as the knock on effect of this shortage will undoubtedly be a decrease in the standard of Maths and Science education in our schools.  Uteach is always keen to recruit good, qualified teachers of all subjects but it’s fair to say most schools in England are crying out for Maths and Science.  Is there an answer to the problem?
