Members of the National Education Union from Telford took part in a protest outside the offices of Wrekin Conservative MP Mark Pritchard, where they made the case for more action over pay and a"crisis in recruitment".
A national spokesman said:"There is a crisis of recruitment and retention within the school system. A decade of falling pay is a key reason for this and needs to be addressed by the Government. One in four teachers leave the profession within two years of qualifying; a third within five years. 13 per cent of teachers who qualified in 2019 have quit.
"The new funding is part of £2 billion this year and next for primary schools and secondary schools in England," he said. "Schools will receive their first payment by May 10, 2023, and will be able to choose how to invest the extra funding, including the option to pay for teacher pay rises and more teaching assistants.
Mr Pritchard added:"My constituents want outstanding local schools which support young people to reach their full potential regardless of their background.
