Workload Reduction
Recent surveys show that teachers overall working hours have not been reduced by ‘Workforce Remodelling’. These surveys, include the 2006 OME survey conducted on behalf of the School Teachers’ Pay Review Body which you can read here.

little time for exercise and recreation and the vast majority feel their overall
working hours are excessive. Excessive working hours are a major cause of work-
The NUT are campaigning both nationally and locally to reduce teacher workload. Members are urged to read and follow the NUT workload guidelines backed up by a 99% ‘yes’ vote in a national ballot in December 2006.
