Workload

The NUT has long-campaigned to seek to establish effective limits to teachers' workload. The School Teachers' Review Body undertakes an annual working time survey to obtain a picture of the average hours worked by teachers - in 2009, all categories of teacher were found to be working in excess of 50 hours per week.

The NUT’s campaign to reduce the workload of teachers continues.
