The reality and consequences of disrupted teacher supply and declining rates of teacher retention provide the critical backdrop for the varied, yet well-balanced, chapters.

At the age of 11 when tasked in a Welsh lesson with writing a sentence about what we wanted to be when we grew up, I vividly remember asking my athrawes what the Welsh for ‘surveyor specialising in the regeneration of communities’ was.
