The body representing teachers working in sixth form colleges has
agreed to accept the pay offer for 2023/24.
The Staff Side of the National Joint Council for Sixth Form
Colleges has today accepted the offer which represents a 6.5% pay
rise for the majority of staff and an 8.44% increase for those on
the lowest pay point.
Following a consultation with NASUWT members, 92% of those who
responded stated they were in favour of accepting the pay offer.
Dr Patrick Roach, NASUWT General Secretary,
said:
“This pay award means that sixth form teachers will benefit from
more money in their pockets at a time when they are struggling
with increased costs for food and energy, rocketing rents and
mortgages and persistent high inflation.
“While we welcome the commitment by the employer to set up a
working party to examine our concerns about teacher workload and
working time, we will be urging employers to make swift progress
to address excessive workload and long working hours which
continue to be identified as a key factor leading to teachers
leaving the profession.
“We will be continuing our campaigning in all sixth form colleges
to bring downward pressure on teachers’ workloads and working
hours.”
