Hands up if you work in a school and want better work-life balance? While flexible or remote working has become the norm for many professionals since COVID-19, it's rarer to see the same opportunities available for school staff.

In this Future Terms panel, we explored how the education sector could improve the wellbeing and retention of teachers. From reducing teaching timetables to remote learning, from part-time hours to online parents’ evenings, our expert speakers will discuss the solutions that could make a positive and practical difference to the working lives of educators. Because, when teachers thrive, pupils thrive. Join the conversation on Twitter using #FutureTermsPanel
