Rishi's picking a relatively easy target: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2022/dec/01/number-gra...

Thirteen out of 17 secondary subject areas missed their targets, with the biggest gaps in science and technology. Just 444 physics teachers signed up for training, equating to one for every eight state secondary schools in England. In computing, 348 graduates entered training, 30% of the government’s target of 1,145.
There was better news in maths, with the government reaching 90% of its target for trainee maths teachers. Primary school graduate trainees reached 93% of the DfE’s target, but this was well below last year’s 131% figure.
