WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 14TH FEBRUARY 2017
Question
Will the Minister provide a comparison between the earnings of a newly qualified teacher in Jersey during each of the first 5 years of their career under current policy, and what the earnings of a newly qualified teacher during each of the first 5 years of their career will be once the Minister's proposal to reduce the entry level for newly qualified teachers from level 3 (i.e. £38,000) to level 1 (i.e. £33,900) has been implemented?
Answer
Teachers in Jersey are paid according to the following scale and, in general, would advance one level per academic year. To be entitled to an increment, a teacher must have completed at least 26 weeks in the previous 12 months or 0.5 full time equivalent of teaching hours in the academic year. Any increment awarded would be subject to performance review.

2 | £47,130 | |
3 | £48,089 | |

A new teachers' typical earnings from the current starting point at MPS 3 would be:
Year 1 | £38,296 |
Year 2 | £39,418 |
Year 3 | £40,546 |
Year 4 | £41,675 |
Year 5 | £42,802 |

Year 1 | £33,900 |
Year 2 | £36,097 |
Year 3 | £38,296 |
Year 4 | £39,418 |
