‘Not enough teachers’: 51% of secondary and 25% of primary TAs now cover classes

#Reshare ICYMI

twinkl.co.uk/l/1h51dl

25% of primary TAs provide class cover due to 'not enough teachers' or schools not being able to get or afford supply teachers

This rises to 51% of TAs in secondary school

TAs earn on average £12,600 a year and 1 in 7 need to use a food bank

🔗 twinkl.co.uk/l/1h51dl

76% of TAs reported NOT receiving a pay uplift for cover

'A supply teacher would get £100 per day, whereas I barely get £1 an hour additional.'

‘For about 30 hours of cover a month, I earn around £40 extra in my salary – it doesn’t seem fair.’
