Green Party responds to news teachers' pay will remain capped at 1% annual increase

10 July 2017

Responding to the news that the annual increase in teachers’ pay in England and Wales will remain capped at 1% [1], the Green Party’s Spokesperson for Education Vix Lowthion said:

“The Government’s pay review is another betrayal of teachers. Not only is a low pay award set to hinder new entrants to the profession, but it will increase the damage from the teacher retention crisis. Those of us on the front lines of teaching are seeing colleagues leave the profession in droves. Teachers are struggling to make ends meet and juggle the growing pressures of working in schools which are being stripped of the money they need. The government must stop taking teachers for granted, and give them the proper pay rise they deserve.

Anne Marie Morris’ comments are outrageous and totally unacceptable – Andrew Gwynne

Andrew Gwynne MP, Labour’s Co-National Campaign Coordinator, commenting on remarks made by Anne Marie Morris, said:

“Anne Marie Morris’ comments are outrageous and totally unacceptable. While the Conservative Party has tabled a debate on Wednesday to apparently discuss and condemn abuse of candidates in the General Election, these comments prove their hypocrisy. 

“Theresa May once spoke about changing the Tories’ ‘Nasty Party’ tag. If she’s serious about that, she will admit it’s not enough for the Tories to ‘investigate’ and will apologise and act immediately. If that means withdrawing the whip, that’s what they should do.”
