A teacher pay rise in England will not mean any extra money for teachers' pay in Northern Ireland, the Department of Education (DE) has confirmed.
Typically, the devolved administrations get additional money when a spending decision is made for England.
The calculation is known as the Barnett formula and the additional spending is known as Barnett consequentials.
But a 6.5% rise for teachers in England for 2023/24 was funded from existing Westminster budgets, the DE said.
Therefore there is no additional money for Stormont to help end the long-running stalemate over teachers' pay.
Separate official figures published on Wednesday suggest that a typical full-time public sector worker in Northern Ireland saw their real pay fall by more than 7% in the last year.
Teachers in Northern Ireland have not had a pay increase for nearly three years.
Many teachers in England, Scotland and Wales now earn thousands of pounds more than their counterparts in Northern Ireland at the same grade.
