DfE: Teachers should get 6.5% pay rise over three years The government has told the School Teachersโ€™ Review Body how much teachers should receive up to 2029

๐ŸšจThe govt has recommended a 6.5% teacher pay rise across three years.

Unions are not happy - @danielkebedeneu.bsky.social has called it a "real terms pay cut" & @nasuwt-official.bsky.social has warned that it will "exacerbate the recruitment and retention crisis".

@danielkebedeneu.bsky.social : "Social media is robbing children of their childhoods. Their attention is being harvested by big tech giants in the pursuit of profit, & just like alcohol or tobacco, both highly disruptive & addictive, social media should be regulated in the same way"

Daily Mail headline - Socialist education union chief demands four-day week in office and a 'mark from home day' for teachers

Daily Mail headline - Socialist education union chief demands four-day week in office and a 'mark from home day' for teachers

This shouldnโ€™t be controversial to say - educators deserve a better work-life balance.

Itโ€™s a stressful profession in a recruitment crisis.

If we want more teachers, and we want them at their best, they need a better working week, just like everybody else.

Developing a whole-school approach to flexible working - Timewise Our 16-month Teaching Pioneers Programme saw us partner with eight secondary schools, within three multi-academy trusts, to explore how best to champion and deliver flexible working within the profession.

Great to see @danielkebedeneu.bsky.social calling for teacher flexible working. With 10% leaving annually, change is needed. We found it's complex but achievable with whole-school approaches and strong leadership.

โ€œItโ€™s a partially funded pay award not a fully funded pay award. That means schools will have to make difficult decisions around resources..itโ€™s very difficult to make any cuts in schools at the momentโ€

I have been in Srebrenica marking 30 years since the Bosnian Genocide.

There were many international failings that allowed it to happen. Today eyes are rightly on Gaza

It doesn't start with Genocide - it starts with political leaders convincing people neighbours are strangers
