The government has called for teachers’ starting salaries in England to rise by more than 16% over the next two years but wants below-inflation increases for more experienced teachers.
In its submission to the school teacher review body (STRB), the independent panel that makes recommendations on pay, the Department for Education (DfE) said it wants the statutory minimum for new teachers to rise by 8.9% in September and by a further 7.1% the following year.
