§ Mr. BradyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what additional resources she proposes to assist schools to reduce teacher workload in the next school year. [41206]
§ Mr. TimmsOn 4 January 2002 my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Skills announced that some £4 million would be made available to fund School Workforce Pathfinder Projects. The projects will explore innovative ways of working to tackle workload so that teachers can concentrate more on teaching and raising standards. Lessons learned from these projects will be shared with all schools. We have also asked the STRB for recommendations by the end of April on how to address workload issues. We will consider those recommendations in the summer.
