§ Mr. HepburnTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how the teachers' pay initiative is distributed among teaching staff; and which guidelines direct this distribution. [36134]
§ Margaret HodgeEach college receives a teaching pay initiative allocation calculated each year in proportion to its main funding allocation from the Learning and Skills Council and the Higher Education Funding Council for England. Allocations to individual teaching staff are based on the national principles and criteria set out in "The Teaching Pay Initiative Guidance", for general further education colleges, and "The Professional Standards Payment Guidance" for sixth form colleges. This guidance was produced by the Association of Colleges and the Sixth Form Colleges' Employers' Forum, respectively, in consultation with college practitioners, college representative bodies and the Department for Education and Skills. A copy of the guidance will be placed in the House of Commons Library.
