Remove the 1% cap on teachers pay rise to bring in line with the NHS/inflation

Petition Details

TEACHERS PAY HAS BEEN CAPPED AT 1% SINCE 2010
Following on from the announcement of the NHS 6% pay rise I believe it is time for the government to consider the current pay freeze on the profession who will ensure that we produce these NHS staff... TEACHERS

Additional Information

Teachers in England and Scotland earned less in real terms in 2015 than a decade before, says an annual report from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

It’s time to value teachers just as much as other public sector workers.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do, as
the 1% public sector pay cap has been lifted by the Government. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could call for teachers' pay to be increased by 6%, in line with the pay rise for NHS staff.
