Is time running out for MPC to prove they are serious about inflation
BBC News: Teacher pay award may be reviewed
The two-year pay settlement for teachers in England and Wales could be reviewed because of rising inflation.
The independent body which advises the government has asked for its permission to reconsider the current pay deal. Ministers are considering the request.
The settlement, with 2.5% rises last September and next, included scope for a review if inflation were to pass 3.25%. The headline rate is now 4.8%.
The NUT teachers' union said this meant they faced "a significant pay cut".

You would have to be either highly dedicated or economically stupid to want a career in teaching under these conditions.

Either that or you'd like sixteen weeks' holiday a year.
