This workload dispute is the best way we can begin to address every teacher’s workload by reducing weekly class contact time and increasing ‘preparation & correction’ time.
The EIS is clear that reducing weekly class contact time to 21 hours, and ensuring that the full 1.5 hours to increase weekly preparation and correction time, would mark an essential step forward in addressing unsustainable levels of teacher workload.
