To be clear my announcement on 13 March 2019 was in relation to teachers pensions. In terms of teachers pay, the Welsh Government is directing all of the £23.5 million announced by the UK Government on 13 September, to fund the school teachers’ pay award for the academic year ending summer 2019. For the financial year 2018-19, £8.7 million was made available via a specific grant within the Education MEG of this £8.069m was for teachers pay and £0.631m was for sixth form teacher pay element for post-16 provision in local authorities.
The distribution of the £8.069m is available in the settlement key briefings table (table 6) at the following link (adjustments to the settlement base):
The distribution of the £0.631m is available at Annex A.
For 2019-20, £13.7 million has been included in the settlement to fund the increase in teachers’ pay in maintained schools from nursery to year 11, and the remaining £1.1 million will continue to be delivered outside the settlement, as part of a specific grant within the Education MEG, for funding provision in school sixth forms.
Turning to teachers pensions, in 2019-20 we are allocating £42.1m to meet in full the identified additional estimated pressure for maintained schools, including sixth forms, in Wales. Welsh Government officials are preparing advice on the distribution of this funding to local authorities. The funding will be allocated as a specific grant to local authorities. The distribution of the funding will be available shortly, through the key settlement briefings link.
The changes to teachers’ pensions will be implemented from the start of the new academic year in September, therefore, this funding relates to the period September 2019 through to March 2020.
Funding for future years (2020-21 onwards) will be discussed as part of preparations for this year’s Comprehensive Spending Review, and will ensure that the full academic year of teachers’ pensions is accounted for.
