MPs agree to two
per cent salary increase but cautiously question whether they are being paid enough.
Members of the House of Commons are looking to secure a ten per
cent salary increase eventually reaching a further # 6,000 annually, reports claim.
Conflicting signals are trailing the 25 per
cent salary cut, announced by President Goodluck Jonathan, two weeks after the announcement.
Sam Sims, the researcher from Education Datalab who wrote the report, said the 5 per
cent salary supplement would not only have eliminated teacher shortages, but done so «at a lower cost than simply recruiting more teachers».
The Statement also set out plans to limit pay rises in the public sector, a move that has angered the teaching profession after what the Times Educational Supplement has described as «four years of pay freezes and marginal one per
cent salary increases since the coalition came into power.»
Currently, there is a compassionate care benefit available to people caring for a family member near the end of life, but the new benefit would offer 15 weeks of leave — at 55
per cent salary — when caring for a loved one with any serious illness or injury.
