:01:59. > :02:02.excited by the challenge, others are not. The latest data shows

:02:34. > :02:38.30 pupils, that works out as for thousand 400 extra teachers who need
:02:39. > :02:41.to be found. We know the school population in London is going to
:02:42. > :02:43.grow quite dramatically over the next few years. We have to make sure
:02:44. > :02:47.next few years. We have to lake sure we are training enough teachers
:02:48. > :02:51.because as soon as we get into a spiral with not training enough
:02:52. > :02:55.teachers, there is a risk that standards go down. What we have got
:02:56. > :02:59.at present, if you think about a set of traffic lights, they are not yet
:03:00. > :03:05.at red but they are clearly flashing amber. The government also trains

:03:33. > :03:38.teachers are viewed in this country, we need to change that. I don't
:03:39. > :03:40.think teachers are valued. We get a lower salary than accountancy or
:03:41. > :03:42.banking, but in general it is an banking, but in general it hs an
:03:43. > :03:51.issue with London housing being so expensive. The numbers still don't
:03:52. > :03:54.add up, so next week the government is introducing this, a wide`ranging
:03:55. > :03:58.recruitment campaign building on the recruitment campaign building on the
:03:59. > :04:02.impact of educating Yorkshire. We want high`quality graduates to think

:04:07. > :04:12.subjects where we want focus, such as science and maths. It is hoped
:04:13. > :04:17.the new education Secretary will improve relations with existing
:04:18. > :04:22.teachers. All of this, we are told, would be a priority heading into the
:04:23. > :04:22.election. In London, the lack of teachers is becoming a classroom
