Government to review teacher pay cap
The government may be reviewing the one per cent cap on teacher pay, Schools Week has reported.
Sources have said that the government will listen to evidence of the pay review bodies, before delivering findings in autumn.
Despite independent pay bodies recommending pay rises in the recent years, the cap has remained in place.
The Department for Education (DfE) has already submitted evidence to the review body for teacher pay, the STRB, stating that it should remain capped at one per cent.
However, education secretary Justine Greening has said that rather than all teachers getting a one per cent pay rise, schools should be able to choose which members of staff get an increase, based on performance.
The STRB is yet to publish its recommendations.
