UK government plans £6,000 pay increase for teachers in vital subjects and expands Levelling Up Premium Payment Scheme.

The UK government plans to offer a £6,000 pay increase to teachers in "vital subjects" like maths, construction, and engineering. This move is part of the government's drive to recruit and retain the best staff in high-priority subjects and disadvantaged areas. The expansion of the Levelling Up Premium Payment Scheme aims to support educators in further education and widens the scope of eligible subjects, while the government also invests £196 million this academic year to attract more teachers in key subjects.
