Up yours, Gillian Keegan - teacher pay offer.

[noblegiraffe]

£1000 this year one-off payment (unclear if taxed?)

4.3% pay rise for experienced teachers from September, (well below inflation), 7.1% for newbies, presumably to meet their £30k manifesto promise.

Fuck all on Ofsted
They'll set up a "Workload TaskForce" (so fuck-all on workload).

The £1k will be funded, they reckon schools can afford the 4.3% next year (hah) so will only fund 0.5% of it.

NEU have strongly recommended that members reject.

I might have started a thread about that, Appu

Madness to offer a pay award but not fund it. So very glad I retired early after 23 years teaching. Teaching gets harder every bloody year. Too many teachers burn out.

Oops, I missed that!

You posted your post while I was writing my thread, so you were ahead of me!

Thought you might like a vote on what Gillian said.

The amount of people that make random comments with know proof to suit their argument.

I have a class of 36 in triple Science. Kids are suffering. Not to mention SEND.
