I have responded to Ms Truss and asked that she responds directly to me in future. I have asked Ms Truss to explain the £6000 disparity between QTS wages and unqualified teacher wages (http://media.education.gov.uk/assets/files/pdf/s/2013%20stpcd%20master%20final.pdf ) and pointed out some problems with the Assessment Only route for QTS.
