Schools in England are increasingly recruiting teachers from overseas, with an impact on school staff shortages in countries such as Jamaica.

We would like to speak with teachers who have recently moved countries to teach in a school in England. If you moved in the last two years, tell us about your experience. Why did you decide to move? How do you feel about it? Do you have any concerns?

We’d also like to speak with teachers in Jamaica, and other countries that have seen an uptick in teachers emigrating. Have your colleagues moved? What is the impact there?
