A poll has found that just four in 10 teachers currently support plans for an independent College of Teaching to be created.
Furthermore, a quarter of those supporting the idea would not be prepared to pay a membership or registration fee, with most others saying they would pay no more than £30 a year.
The findings, which come from a survey of 1,163 teachers published by the Sutton Trust, are at odds with the current proposals, which suggest membership fees of between £70 and £130 a year.
The idea for a College of Teaching has been gaining momentum over the past 18 months and earlier this year a commission of teachers and teaching leaders, chaired by the Prince’s Teaching Institute (PTI), published a blueprint of what the body might look like.
