In 2010, a starting teacher earned 87% more than the minimum wage (£21,600 vs £11,600).
Now, it’s 38% more (£32,900 vs £23,000).
Do we need to restore teacher pay to recruit the strongest teachers?
Teachers across the country change lives every single day.
Today, I'm grateful for the teachers who helped me, inspired me and gave me the tools to succeed.
With our Plan for Change, we're recruiting more teachers into schools to give all children the best start in life.
@MHMMediaGroup Brucey. When you were at Newcastle, the atmosphere under Mike Ashley appeared toxic and it affected performances on the pitch. We appear similar today. If you could go back and do something differently, what would you do? What should Amorim do? #mhmmanulegends
It didn’t have to be like this and I’m genuinely gutted. But for all the goals against our rivals, for helping us win silverware, for fighting on behalf of the kids, for playing like he was living our dream, I’m grateful. Thank you, Marcus.
It’s February, a new month, which means it’s time for me to give away a class set of novels via my book shop @ANewChapterBks. Last month a class got a full set of Malamander, which hopefully strengthened their reading offer. Simply RT for a chance to win.
Every month this year, I intend to give away a full class set of one book via @ANewChapterBks - I truly believe a full class set is one of the most valuable resources a teacher can have when teaching reading.
No faff to enter, just retweet and consider yourself in.
January.
Only the old guard will understand this concept. Some of the replies will tell you who the younger generation is and their uneducated attitude. It goes back to the very beginning. You do not under any circumstances boo a player or a manager. End of.
Oh your "out of office" is on is it. You're off "all the way through" are you. I'll tell you where you couldn't put an out of office on. It's starts with B. And it ends with attle of the Somme
Manchester United have now gone a year without winning in Europe: Copenhagen, Galatasaray, Bayern Munich, Twente, Porto, Fenerbahce. The creep of mediocrity really is something.
@liamgallagher any chance you could release a charity record for my daughter Jessica? She's waited nearly an hour for her dinner and is wasting away. #liveaid24
