Pay frame plan for school staff
Published:  01 June, 2007

School support staff in England could get their own pay structure - ending years of ad hoc arrangements.

The government has begun moves towards drawing up a framework for pay and conditions for the 300,000 teaching assistants and other support staff.

The development follows pressure from unions representing non-teaching staff and head teachers.

Teaching assistants' roles and training have increased in recent years as they have taken over more classroom duties.

Their numbers are increasing in schools. Last year there was a further 6.2% rise to 305,500 in support staff, who also include administrative and nursery staff.
