  • Tens of thousands of teaching days have been lost in Wales through teachers taking time off due to stress, new figures show.
  • He said: "It could be because of pupil behaviour, because of workload, it could be because of things such as pressure for results. There could be bullying and harassment issues or it could be because of inspections. "Some of the days lost that are not put down to stress may be stress related in some way, but people don't necessarily want to put stress down as a reason. "In the more enlightened times that we're in now, we would like to think people would specify the true reason they're off but we do find for people who've been off for a long period of time, it might be stress but called something else."
  • The Welsh Assembly Government said action had been taken to reduce the amount of stress teachers faced.

"The egalitarian and optimistic education culture in Scotland may even help to conceal the real issues," he said. Ministers hope improvements may come from an inquiry into what teachers are taught.
