Performance-related pay is top of David Blunkett's agenda

The government is preparing to announce a package of measures to reform the teaching profession.

A key proposal is expected to be the introduction of performance-related pay for teachers, which ministers believe will ease recruitment problems and help raise classroom standards.

However, teachers' unions are concerned that this will cause deep divisions between their members.

Education Secretary, David Blunkett will announce his plans in the House of Commons at 1530 GMT.

This live event has now finished.
