<p>Last month, the department announced the pay award for teachers in maintained schools
through the School Teachers Pay and Conditions Document. Sixth form colleges’ pay
and terms and conditions are agreed separately through the National Joint Council
for Staff in Sixth Form Colleges.</p><p> </p><p>The government has never taken steps
to cap the pay of teachers in sixth form colleges, as these are private and independent
institutions. Further education colleges are independent institutions and the government
has no current plans to allocate funding specifically to assist with the increase
of teachers’ remuneration in non-academised sixth form colleges. However we are considering
the overall needs of these institutions as part of our work on the efficiency and
resilience of the further education sector. We will continue to look carefully at
their funding requirements in preparation for the next Spending Review.</p><p> </p>
