A major new TV advert<\/a> launches today (27 October 2015) calling for more people to consider teaching as a career.<\/p>\n

The new ad, which features some of the country\u2019s most inspiring and talented classroom teachers, forms part of the government\u2019s annual teacher recruitment campaign, Your Future: Their Future.<\/p>\n

Around 35,000 trainee teachers need to be recruited every year and the Your Future: Their Future campaign plays a key role in attracting more high-quality teachers into England\u2019s classrooms \u2013 with the proportion of trainees with top degrees at record levels. <\/p>\n

The new ad premieres on national TV from today and is scheduled to appear in a range of popular slots on ITV (Jonathan Ross), C4 (Gogglebox) and C5 (NCIS) over the next few weeks. It will also be available online and on video on demand.<\/p>\n

Supporting the launch of the campaign and the new TV ad, Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said:<\/p>\n

\n

Great teachers are at the heart of our drive to extend opportunity to every single child.<\/p>\n

That is why we are focused on attracting more talented people into the profession, to inspire young people, open doors to their future and help prepare them for life in modern Britain.<\/p>\n

Our teacher recruitment campaign Your Future: Their Future will play a key role in attracting a new generation of passionate and gifted teachers including even more top graduates who will help our children reach their full potential.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
