§ 41. Mr. Greenwayasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will introduce proposals for a new teachers' salary structure with greater emphasis on reward for quality.
§ Mr. DunnThe salary structures for teachers are a matter for negotiation within the Burnham committees and discussions are currently taking place within that machinery about modifying the present arrangements. My right hon. Friend has already expressed his concern that the salary structure for primary and secondary teachers should be designed to give relatively greater awards to the best classroom teachers as well as to encourage good teachers to seek wider responsibilities in senior posts.
