62
Establish statutory pay review body for colleges to close pay gap with school teachers
Recommendation
We recommend that the Department for Education establishes a statutory pay review body for colleges comparable to the School Teachers’ Review Body. This body should provide independent, evidence-based pay recommendations for teachers and staff and help to ensure equity of pay across the post-16 education sector. The Department for Education must commit to closing the gap in pay between college teachers and their school counterparts within the current Comprehensive Spending Review period. The Department must keep the Committee regularly updated on its progress in meeting this commitment. (Recommendation, Paragraph 228) 102
