Worried bankers tempted to teach
Published:  14 October, 2008

Anxious bankers fearing their jobs are under threat are to be targeted as potential recruits by England's teacher training agency.

The Training and Development Agency for Schools is planning to visit London's financial districts in a bid to find people who might re-train as teachers.

The agency (TDA) says the credit crunch has already boosted inquiries about teaching as a career.

Its recruitment website has had a 34% annual increase in traffic.

It also says there has been a 13% increase since last year in the number of people registering an interest in becoming teachers.
