At the same time, a separate study by the NASUWT has found that workload and pensions are the biggest concerns for a majority of teachers.
The NUT poll, carried out by YouGov, involved 826 teachers and also found that 74 per cent believe that morale within the profession has fallen in the last three-and-a-half years. Also, 63 per cent of teachers say that more than a fifth of their workload does not directly benefit children’s learning, while almost half report malnutrition or hunger affecting the ability of pupils to concentrate.
Just over half of teachers said they are less likely to stay in the profession as a result of changes to teachers’ pay and pensions, and 57 per cent are less likely to stay as a result of changes to teachers’ working conditions.
