I’m amazed anyone sees it as anything else for 95%+ of pupils. Very few things, if any, taught in a classroom today will have any relevance to work in 2045. Teaching is very much a gravy train for some families though of second and third generation teachers. Solid public sector employment, decent pension, nice holiday entitlement. So the industry has to pretend otherwise, academia sees the pound signs coming their way too so very happy to play along.
