LSE study of the Green Paper pay system for teachers and its effects
Important message from David Marsden: 18.12.2000
Dear Teachers,
LSE Study of the Teachers' Green Paper pay system
Postponement of the second wave of questionnaires to be sent out in 2001.
You will no doubt remember that when you kindly completed the questionnaire for this study last January and February, I said that there would be a follow-up survey in one year's time.
My original intention was that this should take place also in January and February, but with the delay in the implementation of the Threshold, this is no longer a sensible time. I am therefore consulting the teachers' unions, professional associations, and the DfEE in order to select an alternative date. At the moment, it looks as though the best time will be in the second half of March. If you have views you would like to express on this, please do not hesitate to email me at: d.marsden@lse.ac.uk.
I hope very much that I shall be able to count on your continued support for this valuable project. You may be interested to know that our previous work on performance pay in the Civil Service was prominently cited in the Government's Makinson Report on Civil Service pay reforms, and has been intensively used by both the civil service unions and employers as they seek a better pay system. You may find out more about some of our previous work on performance related pay by consulting the web site of the LSE's Centre for Economic Performance (www.cep.lse.ac.uk). which can also be accessed from 'Research centres' from the LSE's home page (www.lse.ac.uk). Some of the publications can be downloaded.
With my best wishes for your well-earned Christmas and New Year break.
Yours sincerely,
David Marsden.
