Commenting on the publication of the School Teachers’ Review Body Teachers’ Workloads Diary Survey, Dr Mary Bousted, General Secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL), said:
“ATL welcomes the overall reduction in teacher working hours due to improved working practices and the introduction of PPA time. However, the report still shows that teachers are working unacceptably long hours, with most teachers working over 50 hours per week.
“More needs to be done to ensure teachers are not pressurised into taking on additional responsibilities not specifically related to their role, enabling them to use their time to teach efficiently and effectively.
“Teachers require energy and enthusiasm to empower and motivate young people. Regularly working long hours leaves many feeling fatigued and stressed.”
