National Education Union members reported having to use food banks or access benefits to cope with the increased costs of living, with one describing it as 'embarrassing'.
Nearly one in five teachers have been forced to take on a second job amid rising living costs, a survey suggests.
Some said they had reduced their heating to save money, while others said they had been forced to skip meals, according to a poll of more than 17,800 National Education Union members.Teachers who responded to the survey also reported staying late at work to keep warm due to soaring energy costs."It's embarrassing that I'm a teacher, thought to be a respectable well-paid job, but I can't afford to live.
Another said:"I regularly use food banks because my salary doesn't cover my outgoings, including rent, electric and gas bills." Some support staff and teachers have been forced to access benefits such as Universal Credit to cope with the increased costs of living.
