The Harris Federation , England ’s second largest academy chain, has been recruiting from Jamaica in recent years .

The federation said last year that it had recruited more than 150 teachers from Jamaica since 2018 .

Experienced teachers have told the Observer they have spent years working in Harris schools while still being classed as unqualified’ This means they are paid less than their qualified counterparts.

The teachers said it has left them struggling with London 's high cost of living.

Harris Federation said an “amazing cohort of staff from Jamaica ” had benefited the education of their students.

It has kept classrooms staffed at a time when headteachers in the whole country, but especially those of us in London , face a teacher recruitment crisis.

The federation said that the “negativity of the NEU ’s campaign on this issue does not reflect the reality of most people's experiences in our schools”.
