Teacher pay rise proposals include lower rises for those who work in primary schools. This will disproportionately affect women since, according to BESA, 82.4% of UK primary school teachers are female – “a proportion that is steadily increasing.”

Teacher pay rise proposals will ‘exacerbate supply challenges’

The NFER backs higher pay rises, bursaries and bonuses - but secondary teachers should get higher awards than primary ones
