UK government's plan for teachers' pay risks funding crisis, say unions
Education unions have accused the government of risking a "full-blown funding crisis" for schools with their latest offer on teachers' pay.
Those in the first five years of their career would get between 5% and 8%, while new starters outside of London would get 8.9%. It is also expected that schools will not receive additional money to fund the rise, and will have to cover it out of their existing budgets. It added that "double-digit pay awards for public sector workers would lead to sustained higher levels of inflation" and that "this would have a far bigger impact on people's real incomes in the long run".
