Sixth form teachers walk out to demand equal pay

UP to 2,000 sixth-form teachers across England walked out today, demanding the same pay rises given to staff at other schools.

National Education Union (NEU) members from 32 non-academised sixth-form colleges staged pickets outside their schools, with many gathering later for a rally outside the Department for Education (DfE) headquarters in London.

It comes after the Labour government announced in July that teachers in England will receive a fully funded 5.5 per cent pay rise — but sixth forms without academy status have been excluded.
