The following table illustrates the cost of the award by updating the 1994–95 expenditure recorded by local education authorities in England for teaching staff salaries in nursery, primary, secondary and special schools by the teachers' pay awards of 2.7 per cent. in 1995–96 and the staged pay award of 3.75 per cent. in 1996–97.
The 1994–95 expenditure figures are the latest available for local education authority schools in England. The figures in the table take no account of changes in teacher numbers or other factors that affect the teachers' pay bill.
