At present, she said, there are 20 local authorities where most pupils do not achieve five good GCSEs, including English and maths. The education secretary wants to target areas with low achievement, such as coastal towns and some northern cities. But Labour's shadow education secretary Lucy Powell said that rather than raising standards, the government has caused a "chronic shortage" of teachers. In a speech on Tuesday, Mrs Morgan announced details of the pre-election pledge to create a National Teaching Service. This will recruit a pool of 1,500 high-achieving teachers over five years who would be deployed to schools in areas with weak results, such as coastal towns. There will be financial incentives for teachers to join this project, with staff expected to stay for up to three years. "Too many young people aren't being given a fair shot to succeed because of where they live," said Mrs Morgan. "Coastal towns and rural areas struggle because they struggle to recruit and retain good teachers, they lack that vital ingredient that makes for a successful education," said the education secretary."The National Teaching Service will play a key part in solving this problem.”Brian Lightman, leader of the ASCL head teachers' union, welcomed the National Teaching Service as a way of helping schools in parts of the country where they "simply cannot recruit teachers".
