Teachers Branch 1 was overtaken by the new Teachers Pay and General Branch in 1988. Division A was responsible for the pay and conditions of service of school and further education teachers, staffing matters arising from the Education Reform Act 1988, the administration of regulations on teachers and prospective teachers, and teacher misconduct. Division B was responsible for the pay and conditions of service of university staff, educational research, liaison with the Education, Science and Arts Select Sommittee, local government issues, and the coordination of work on the Data Protection and Freedom of Information Acts.

By 1993 there was a single Teachers Branch where Division A dealt with pay and conditions of service, liaison with the School Teachers Review Body, school teacher appraisal, misconduct and other staffing matters. Division C covered teacher manpower policy, provision for shortage subjects and recruitment matters. The Teachers Pension Agency had been set up as an executive agency to manage the superannuation scheme.
