Whilst academised sixth form colleges have been included within the Government’s guaranteed funding for the 5.5% pay award for teachers, this has not been the case for non-academised sixth form colleges.

In London a rally will be held outside the London headquarters of the Department for Education.
Speakers:
- Daniel Kebede, general secretary of the National Education Union
- Sarah Kilpatrick, senior vice-president of the NEU
- Duncan Blackie, Post-16 representative on NEU national executive
