Top of the class: How do you lure the cream of Britain's graduates into teaching in inner-city schools? - Schools, Education - The Independent

A question which organisation is the biggest recruiter of Oxbridge undergraduates? You might expect the answer would be Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers or a big City finance house. In fact, it is Teach First, the education charity set up to woo the country's brightest graduates into teaching in the country's most disadvantaged schools – if and only if they have not followed the traditional teacher-training path to the classroom. Currently, it mops up around 8 per cent of graduates from the two universities and is set for a massive expansion. Now it is planning to double its numbers.
