The main problem in my opinion is that contracted hours are almost equal to term time which is a problem .Why can't teachers be contracted to work all year round with 5.6 minimum weeks holiday the same as everyone else ? That way they wouldn't be doing so much work out of hours .

Work out of hours doesn't always require contact time with students eg lesson preparation,marking,reports,paperwork.In fact it's why we are supposed to have non contact time during our timetables but if staff are absent then contact time is lost in covering absent teachers classes.Increasing the contact time by reducing holiday periods will not allow for the above.
