A large majority of teachers say remote education has increased their workload, a survey conducted for Ofsted reveals.

Workload has “increased greatly” since remote learning was implemented, according to 45 per cent of the representative sample of 1,003 teachers responding to the��YouGov poll.

And the results published today showed that another 41 per cent said their workload had increased “somewhat”.

Secondary teachers��were slightly more likely than their primary peers to report an increased workload as a result of remote learning (88 per cent��compared with 84 per cent).

Last month Ofsted published a report saying that teachers thought that delivering education to pupils��both remotely and in person��posed��a threat to teacher wellbeing.

Today’s YouGov data - from a survey carried in November and December -��gives the detail behind that picture.

It reveals that the degree of��teacher workload was often dependent on the subject taught and��the structure used by a school -��eg,��did all teachers prepare lessons or were��dedicated teachers preparing��them across the subject.

Many teachers found their workload had��eased “somewhat” over the year as they got used to the new ways of working and found useful resources.
