Family Matters: Why primary school teachers are leaving the profession

Saskia Falken speaks to Sarah Koopman, Head of Partnerships and Advocacy at the Jakes Gerwel Fellowship, about why so many primary school teachers are leaving the profession, what support they need, and why investing in teachers is ultimately an investment in our children's future. Lunch with Pippa Hudson is CapeTalk’s mid-afternoon show.   This 2-hour respite from hard news encourages the audience to take the time to explore, taste, read and reflect. The show - presented by former journalist, baker and water sports enthusiast Pippa Hudson - is unashamedly lifestyle-driven. Popular features include a daily profile interview #OnTheCouch at 1:10 pm. Consumer issues are in the spotlight every Wednesday while the team also unpacks all things related to health, wealth & the environment.   Thank you for listening to a podcast from Lunch with Pippa Hudson   Listen live on Primedia+ weekdays between 13:00 and 15:00 (SA Time) to Lunch with Pippa Hudson broadcast on CapeTalk https://buff.ly/NnFM3Nk   For more from the show, go to https://buff.ly/MdSlWEs or find all the catch-up podcasts here https://buff.ly/fDJWe69   Subscribe to the CapeTalk Daily and Weekly Newsletters https://buff.ly/sbvVZD5      Follow us on social media:   CapeTalk on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CapeTalk   CapeTalk on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@capetalk   CapeTalk on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/   CapeTalk on X: https://x.com/CapeTalk   CapeTalk on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CapeTalk567 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
