The number of full-time teachers across England’s schools has fallen by 6,100 over the last two years, while male qualified teachers continue to be paid an average of £3,300 more than their female colleagues.
The figures come from the latest workforce census, which is based on figures from November 2012 and which has been released by the Department for Education this week.
