Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Schools White Paper, if he will include the workforce framework contained in the School teachers' pay and conditions document.

The Schools White Paper was published on 28 March 2022 and sets out our commitment to teaching being an attractive, high-status profession; we will recruit and retain the best teachers, in the subjects and areas they are needed most. The full publication can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/opportunity-for-all-strong-schools-with-great-teachers-for-your-child.

The School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document (STPCD) is statutory guidance on pay and conditions for teachers. It applies to local authority maintained schools in England. The STPCD will be updated at the end of this year’s pay round to reflect the pay award for the 2022/23 academic year.
