SUPPLY teachers are being exploited by their employers, denied pay and pensions equal to that of their full-time colleagues and subjected to poorer working conditions, education union NASUWT has revealed. 

According to the union’s latest report, published today, two out of three supply teachers felt they were not being paid salaries reflecting their levels of expertise.

Many more were unaware of the agency workers’ directive, which entitles supply teachers to the same pay and conditions as their contracted colleagues after 12 weeks in one workplace.
