But £600m of that goes straight into the pockets of recruitment agencies, money that should be going back into classrooms and teachers' pay. So we're doing things differently. Zen Educate is an online platform that gives schools instant access to fully vetted teachers and support staff. Since launching in 2017, we've already saved schools over £30 million, that's gone straight back to where it matters most. We've just closed a $37m Series B (the biggest EdTech round in Europe last year!), and we're scaling fast in the UK and the US.
