I am doing the Specialist Teacher Assistant (STA) course that will qualify me to a high standard of classroom assistant. I believe pay for classroom assistants should be increased and our responsibilities defined. Classroom assistants are invaluable within schools and we should be given adequate training such as the latest STA course provided by CACHE.

The level of achievement should be recognised by the Government. Teaching assistants are vital to supporting the teacher's role. Pay should be matched accordingly and pay scales must be drawn up.
