I was honoured to be invited to the OECD’s Top Class education podcast on a heavy topic.

I hope that what Sinéad McBrearty and I discuss in this podcast will help policymakers and teachers!

Every year, countless teachers face stress-related illnesses and burnout. While some manage to keep going, often at a reduced capacity, others leave the profession entirely. In this episode of Top Class, we explore how policymakers and schools can better support teacher wellbeing and create healthy working environments to ensure educators remain happy and healthy. The CEO of mental health and wellbeing charity Education Support Sinéad McBrearty and Pedro De Bruyckere, the head of Leerpunt in Flanders in Belgium, a knowledge broker in education, speak to OECD Editor Duncan Crawford about practical strategies to create sustainable and supportive environments for teachers.
