It will run until Christmas and all those working in the education sector will qualify.
All primary, secondary, private, special educational, college, sixth-form college and nursery teachers qualify for the new 10% discount.
Plus teaching assistants, catering staff, dinner ladies, caretakers, cleaners and office staff working in the education sector will also be able to benefit from the discount.
Morrisons said: “Lasting until after Christmas, the special discount is a thank-you to half a million teachers and additional school staff who are looking after the nation’s children and supporting them through the Covid-19 pandemic.”
Education staff will also now be able to access the dedicated shopping hour that runs between 6am and 7am Monday to Saturday for NHS staff.
