Recommendation 57
57
Paragraph: 239
Accelerate efforts to reduce teacher working hours sooner than the current target.
Conclusion
We welcome the progress made towards reducing teachers working hours, acknowledging that the 5-hour reduction between 2016 and 2019 was a move in the right direction. However, workload remains a top concern for teachers. We welcome the Department’s ambition to reduce working hours by a further 5 hours but urge that this needs to be achieved much sooner than the Department’s 3-year target.
