The Future Education Workforce

Every year at McCrindle we launch new research looking at the trends impacting the education sector. Join us for this virtual event, where we’ll unpack these insights and launch a new report on the education sector. You’ll be equipped with the strategic foresight needed to lead your school

The Future Education Workforce report will provide school leaders and boards with a strategic guide to navigate these shifts, moving beyond basic policies to foster a culture of genuine psychological safety and structural support. From managing the significant cognitive tax on leadership to bridging the gap in parent-teacher interactions, this research identifies the critical push and pull factors for retention.

You’ll discover:

The long-term impact of the narrowing teacher pipeline and how to adapt recruitment and retention strategies for a maturing workforce.
The impact of mental and emotional load on school leadership to prevent burnout.
Structural supports that move beyond basic compliance to create a culture where staff feel supported.
How to reframe leadership roles through better design and growth.

By reimagining role design and formalising growth pathways, schools can transform leadership from a perceived burden into a sustainable, aspirational career, ensuring both educators and students truly thrive.
