WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND LIFELONG LEARNING
BY DEPUTY C.D. CURTIS OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 30th MARCH 2026
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 7th APRIL 2026
Question
"Will the Minister advise what proportion of the additional funding approved in the Budget (Government Plan) 2026-2029 for teachers' planning, preparation, and assessment (PPA) time has been used since January 2026 to reduce weekly teaching hours in order to increase PPA time; and what proportion has been allocated from now until September 2026 for this to continue?"
Answer
The full value approved in Budget (Government Plan) 2026–2029 has been allocated to school budgets in 2026 and on a recurring basis thereafter. Head Teachers have been asked to implement the PPA changes soonest and no later than September 2026. Based on the ability to implement these changes schools may be at different stages of implementation during the spring and summer terms and we will be measuring readiness for the new academic year in the summer term.
