Lunchtime supervision in a secondary school is a role.

Why are teachers paid differently / more for the same job a Learning Support Assistant does?

The job is the same. It appears like discriminatory

Response

Although teachers and learning support assistants may supervise students during lunchtime, their overall roles and responsibilities differ significantly. Teachers and learning support assistants may share duties such as lunchtime supervision, however, the differences in their roles, contractual agreements, qualifications, and pay scales contribute to the variations in compensation.
