A recruitment programme called Teach First has been used to tackle a shortage of teachers in Britain.

It has been used to place more than 16,000 teachers in low-income communities since it started in 2003.

Mariama Hashi said she is from north London herself and is aware that some groups and some parts of London will suffer because of the declining numbers of people going into teaching. He was a university graduate and said he would not have become a teacher if it had meant going to teacher training college and not earning a wage.Executive principal with AIM Academy secondary schools Paddy McGrath said people who come in through Teach First tend to be"hungry" and"focussed" on progressing in their careers.

All of North London Academy pupils now go on to third level and for the first time a former pupil is studying at Oxford, according to Director of Academies Carly Mitchell.Academies typically have private sector involvement either through management or sponsorship.
