ASCL, NAHT, NEU and Community have told the Government to fully fund September’s 4% teacher and school leader pay increase

Sixth form colleges have returned a strong result in their indicative ballot. Should the pay claim not be met satisfactorily then a formal strike ballot will follow in the autumn term.

We urge the Education Secretary to fully engage with this pivotal report

Teachers should not be asked to trade-off between pay and pensions

While much in the review is welcome, there is more to do to fix the fundamental problems facing schools. 

We cannot state enough how important it is that the real cost of the pay rise makes it to every school in Wales

On Monday 9 June sixth form college teacher members will open an indicative ballot in support of their 2025/26 pay claim.

To reverse entrenched teacher shortages, the Government must invest properly in education.

The Government must commit to fully funding the pay award. There are no 'efficiencies' to be made at a school level.

Teachers are sick of hearing vital information through the press. The full report must be published now, and the Government's intentions on funding made clear.

“The Government must turn the page on failed austerity and instead invest properly in education.

Appropriate payments for responsibility are an essential part of the teacher pay system.
