Nearly a third of teachers say they are spending more than £200 a month on travel as fuel costs soar, new figures show.
Almost one in five teachers also report that their household is “scraping by” and not earning enough each month to save any cash.
Fuel costs hit staff
A survey of more than 7,000 staff by Teacher Tapp found 65 per cent of teachers spend at least £101 a month on travel costs, such as fuel, tax and insurance for drivers.
Among them, 31 per cent reported spending more than £200 a month, up from 20 per cent in 2019 – likely reflecting soaring prices at the pumps.
