question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the accuracy of the analysis provided by the Institute for Fiscal Studies on the teachers' pay award announced in July which states that “about 60 per cent of teachers will receive below-inflation awards of 2 per cent, or in the case of school leaders 1.5 per cent".

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 answer text <p>For all pay awards, the government considered the wider pressures on public spending and the need to ensure they were fair for both public sector workers and the taxpayer. The government provided for a significant uplift in starting salaries to focus on raising pay for the lowest paid teachers at the start of their careers.</p><p> </p><p>43.5% of the teacher workforce, or the 199,000 teachers currently on the Unqualified Teacher and Main Pay Range ranges will see an uplift of 3.5% to their pay range. The remaining 56.5% will see an increase to their pay ranges of between 1.5% and 2%.</p><p> </p><p>Arrangements for teachers’ pay have been fundamentally reformed over the last four years following recommendations from the School Teachers’ Review Body. The freedoms the government have given headteachers over pay mean that there are no restrictions on increases within the minima and maxima of the national pay ranges. Schools are able to choose to give teachers a higher pay rise where this is appropriate to their particular local context and budget, subject to performance.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 01/11/2018 15:15:46 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the press Association of Colleges' release entitled AoC update on college pay, published in July 2018, if he will he take steps to close the £7000 a year pay disparity between teachers working in further education colleges compared with their counterparts in schools.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2018 answer text <p>The further education (FE) sector – including FE colleges – has a different legal status and relationship to the government when compared with schools. FE colleges are private sector institutions, independent of the government. It is for individual FE employers to agree local pay structures with unions, based on local needs.</p><p>The department values all of our teachers and leaders in FE who change lives for the better. Since 2013, we have invested over £120 million in the FE workforce, including investing in workforce development through the independent Education and Training Foundation (ETF).</p><p>Having enough highly-skilled FE teachers in place to deliver high-quality, work-relevant skills training is essential, particularly for the successful delivery of T Levels and apprenticeships. This is why we have committed up to £20 million to help providers, teachers and leaders prepare to deliver T Levels. This includes launching Taking Teaching Further, a £5 million programme to attract industry professionals to teach in FE.</p><p>FE providers help to make sure people have the skills they need to get on in life, which is why we have protected base rate funding for 16 to 19 year olds until 2020. However, we acknowledge that FE faces cost pressures. This is why the department has been actively engaging with the sector to look closely at how we fund providers to ensure that the system supports sustainable, high-quality education. We will be looking carefully at these issues in the Spending Review.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 15/10/2018 16:33:38 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
