How tackling the global teacher shortage can unlock the UK’s development agenda
A workload reduction taskforce has recommended that the requirement for maintained schools to adopt performance-related pay (PRP) be removed.
Pay appeals can be used to challenge unfair pay decisions.
Teaching and learning responsibility payments (TLRs) are an essential part of the teacher pay system.
The NEU is aware that many schools – particularly, though not exclusively, primary schools – claim that movement onto or within the upper pay range (UPR) is dependent on a teacher undertaking additional responsibilities.
A key issue for many teachers is that their school has adopted a pay policy stating that progression on the upper pay range (UPR) should only be considered every two years.
The NEU is deeply concerned that support staff members are regularly working beyond their contracted hours and taking on additional duties outside their job role without pay.
If you work in a multi-academy trust (MAT), understanding how your employer organises its finances and how much it takes from each of its academies to fund ‘central services’ is important.
NEU launch new report on the global teacher shortage.
The NEU is committed to re-establishing national collective bargaining over teacher pay and securing a national pay structure which applies statutorily to all schools and academies.
Guidance on how teachers’ pay is structured in England and Wales, including allowances and additional ranges or scales.
We need clear recognition of the need for further corrections in pay.
