11X the BIG question...

Employees of the public sector (government owned organisations) , including teachers, are preparing to take industrial action to protect their pay, retirement age and pensions. Over the bank holiday weekend the NAHT (Head Teachers' Union) voted to poll members on taking industrial action if the proposed pension changes are enforced.

"They say changes being proposed will mean they will have to work longer for less money and that, on average, a head teacher will lose about £100,000 from their pension."

The BIG questions:

1) What might happen to the motivation levels of teachers and head teachers if the changes to pensions and pay freeze do go ahead?

2) Good pensions and an early retirement age have been an important factor in recruiting teachers as the basic pay is not as good as could be earned in similar jobs in the private sector. What might the impact of these changes be on teacher recruitment?
