Teacher Wellbeing Index 2025 reveals crisis in education workforce wellbeing Education Support’s 2025 Teacher Wellbeing Index reveals a stark reality: the wellbeing of our education workforce is at crisis point. The pressures educators face are unrelenting, and the consequences should alarm anyone who cares about education.
Behind the numbers are stories of exhausted teachers, overwhelmed leaders, and support staff stretched beyond their limits. Many describe feeling unsupported, unable to switch off, and
questioning how long they can continue in the profession they love.
An unwell teaching workforce cannot deliver the best outcomes for children and young people. If we want every child to thrive, we must ensure that those who teach and support them are
thriving too.
Education Support is calling for urgent action to protect and retain the people who make education possible.
