<p>For 2019-20, the Department estimates that £1.1 billion more will need to be put
into the Teachers’ Pension Scheme by employers to ensure teachers’ pensions remain
generous and attractive to the profession. This is broken down as down as follows:
£830 million from state-funded schools, £110 million from the Independent Sector,
£80 million from Further Education Colleges and £80 million from affected Higher Education
Institutions.</p><p> </p><p>It is the Government’s intention to fund independent special
schools for the costs of increased employer contributions in 2019-20, as these schools
often have pupils on education, health and care plans, which are local authority funded,
but the Department will be consulting to seek views on this to understand the impact
these costs will impose on the independent schools sector.</p><p> </p>
