We are calling time on unreasonable expectations and excessive workload for teachers
Our members have told us its Time for a Limit on excessive workload, unreasonable expectations and the increasing number of hours it takes to fulfil their role.
Despite their best efforts to keep up with an ever-increasing workload, 69% of teachers told us they feel too worn down to give their job their best effort.
Our Big Question and Wellbeing Surveys carried out in 2022 found that teachers ranked workload as the top issue that most impacted both their physical and mental health.
We remain in dispute over teachers’ pay.
