Unions have expressed their “serious frustration and disquiet” after it emerged the government will miss the deadline to submit evidence to the body that helps set teacher pay.
The Department for Education has until today to submit its evidence to the School Teachers’ Review Body, which makes recommendations to ministers on pay rises each year.
But the STRB told unions today there was “now likely to be a delay” to the government’s submission.
Ministers had already angered unions by issuing the STRB’s remit letter – required to being the pay-setting process each year – just days before Christmas.
