<p>In March 2024, the department announced an additional £1.1 billion in the 2024/25
financial year to support schools and local authorities with the increased Teachers’
Pension Scheme employer contribution rate. This additional funding will be distributed
in 2024/25 via the new teachers’ pension employer contribution grant (TPECG) 2024.</p><p>
</p><p>The department is providing additional funding through the TPECG 2024 to local
authorities in respect of teachers categorised as centrally employed on the schools’
workforce census 2023. The department expects local authority-based Music Hub teachers
to be recorded on the schools’ workforce census, and so to be in scope for this grant.</p><p>
</p><p>The department has also committed to providing funding to cover the increase
in employer contribution rates for existing non-local authority hubs for the current
academic year, until August 2024, and officials are working to agree the precise amount.
Further details, including funding rates and allocations, will be provided soon.</p><p>
