<p>We recognise that unnecessary workload remains a concern for teachers.</p><p> </p><p>The
report from the Education Policy Institute uses data based on OECD’s Teaching and
Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2013, which was published in 2014. We took action
on these findings at the time, through the ‘Workload Challenge’.</p><p> </p><p>Removing
unnecessary workload for teachers remains a priority. On 26 March 2016, we published
reports from three independent groups set up to address the most burdensome tasks
for teachers - <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reducing-teacher-workload-marking-policy-review-group-report"
target="_blank">marking</a>, <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reducing-teacher-workload-planning-and-resources-group-report"
target="_blank">planning and resources</a> and <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reducing-teacher-workload-data-management-review-group-report"
target="_blank">data management</a>. We have also conducted the first biennial Teacher
Workload Survey which will help us track teacher workload so that further action can
be taken if needed. The report from this robust survey is due to be published later
this year.</p><p> </p><p>Removing unnecessary workload is complex and change will
take time. We are continuing to work with teachers and their representatives to make
sure unnecessary teacher workload is removed.</p>
