Ministers should consider “targeting” pay to address “persistent” shortage subject recruitment and other workforce challenges, the school independent pay body has warned.
The School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) report was finally published today, recommending a 6.5 per cent teacher pay rise, which ministers have accepted.
But the body also made wider observations about working conditions of teachers and school leaders.
They were “deeply concerned” about recruitment levels and “what appears to be a firmly established and persistent problem of under-recruitment in certain subjects”.
