Jobs could go and class sizes get bigger because the 1.75% teachers’ pay award in Wales is not being fully funded, the body representing school leaders has warned.
Schools in some areas are being left to pick up the tab and will be forced to make cuts, the Association of School and College Leaders said.
Four local education authorities have not helped fund the 1.75% teacher pay increase which was agreed by the Welsh Government on recommendation from the independent Welsh Pay Review Body last autumn.
