Deux fois plus de départs anticipés en retraite Le nombre d’enseignants qui partent en retraite anticipée a presque doublé au cours des sept dernières années. Ils sont passés de 5580 en 1998-1999 à 10270 l’année dernière. Le taux des départs anticipés en retraite a augmenté de 93% dans le secteur public et de 33% dans les écoles privées. La plupart de ces jeunes retraités expliquent leur départ par un surmenage lié au stress engendré par l’attitude des enfants en classe. La pension des enseignants qui quittent volontairement la profession
avant 55 ans est réduite à une échelle comprise entre
26 et 55%.
Twice as many teachers retiring early The number of teachers taking early retirement has almost doubled in seven years, new figures have revealed. Thousands more are taking advantage of generous public pension packages and leaving before the official retirement age of 60. Many blame the stress of trying to teach in the face of poor pupil behaviour and repeated government initiatives. The number of teachers retiring early rose from 5,580 in 1998/99 to
10,270 last year. The rate of early retirement in state secondary schools
increased by 93 per cent, while independent schools had the lowest rate,
with a rise of 33 per cent.
The increase across state primary schools was 52 per cent. Further and higher education colleges have the worst record, with an increase of about 138 per cent, according to the figures released in response to a parliamentary question. David Willetts, the shadow education secretary, said: "These figures tell us where teachers are feeling most frustrated and least supported. The relatively low rate of early retirement in the independent sector is partly because that is where teachers feel they have more freedom from the Government's heavy-handed interference." Teachers who retire through ill health and cannot work again, get a full pension. Staff over the age of 50 who are made redundant also get a full pension, part of which is paid by the employer. Teachers aged 55 or over can leave the profession voluntarily, but their pension is reduced on a sliding scale from a maximum cut of 26 per cent at 55. Retired teachers can work part-time without affecting their pension payments. Teacher supply agencies report that significant numbers of retired teachers return to the classroom. Unions say that a significant minority of staff taking early retirement are head teachers, contributing to a growing crisis in recruiting school leaders. Last year, two headmasters made high-profile early resignations at union conferences, blaming government and Ofsted interference. John Illingworth, 55, the headmaster of Bentinck Primary, in Nottingham, told National Union of Teachers delegates that he was quitting because of mental health problems caused by the stress of the job. Days later, David Pannett, 57, the headmaster of Elsecar Holy Trinity Primary, in Barnsley, told a conference of the National Association of Head Teachers: "The only reason I am leaving is I am not going to run the risk of having an Ofsted inspection ruin what I feel has been a reasonably successful career, humiliate my staff, and leave the school as a shambles." Mick Brookes, the association's general secretary, said: "We know that only a third of head teachers actually go on to normal retirement age. "Two thirds prefer to take a hit in their pensions. These figures really back up what we are saying, that unless a greater focus is put on retention of head teachers there will be a huge gap to fill. "Readvertisement rates for heads' jobs have gone up massively. People are not prepared to follow them to fill the posts because of the aggressive accountability that head teachers now face." A spokesman for the Department for Education and Skills said: "We have more teachers than at any time since 1980, as well as record numbers of support staff. Our workforce reforms are turning the tide on teacher workload and ensuring that teachers can focus on their primary task: teaching." |
