Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the maximum salary of the advanced teacher and training scale for FE college lecturers was in each year since 2000.

Further education (FE) colleges are responsible for setting the pay and terms and conditions of their workforce. This remains the case following reclassification of the statutory FE sector. The department has no role in setting or negotiating teacher pay in further education colleges.

Reclassification of the statutory FE sector does mean that colleges will fall within the scope of senior pay controls, as set out by HM Treasury.
