Recommendation 5
5
Teacher pay requires competitive increases without adversely affecting other school budgets.
Conclusion
We understand the Department’s budgetary pressures. However, in order to compete with other sectors and improve recruitment and retention, teacher pay must keep pace year on year with other comparable sectors. It is also essential that funding to enable the continued competitiveness of teacher salaries does not adversely impact levels of funding elsewhere in the schools budget. (Paragraph 45) 76 Teacher recruitment, training and retention
