University Teachers And Zero Hour Contracts

EDM number 1265 in 2015-16, proposed by Kelvin Hopkins on 16/03/2016.
Categorised under the topics of Higher education, Industrial relations and Teachers.

That this House recognises that teachers are central to the successful delivery of high quality higher education; notes with concern that over 100,000 university teachers do not have permanent contracts and many are employed on zero hours or other exploitative arrangements; believes that this employment model is bad for students and impacts upon quality; and calls on the Government to undertake an inquiry into casualised employment practices in UK universities with a view to safeguarding quality for students and promoting secure and attractive careers for academic staff.

This motion has been signed by a total of 40 MPs.
