I have today received a copy of an email that Ms Truss has forwarded to my local MP in response to my complaints. Her response leads me to ask whether Ms Truss knows how much difference the QTS pay scale makes to those working as teachers. Currently QTS teachers receive between £21,804 pa and £31,868 pa (excluding London areas). Unqualified teachers receive between £15,976 pa and £25,267 pa. She also suggests that QTS may be achieved via the assessment only route but I thought that applicants had to have primary school experience. I will investigate!
