The National Education Union plans to hold two further days of teacher strikes on April 27 and May 2
Schools in Lancashire, Cumbria and the rest of England face fresh strikes this spring after members of the largest education union in the UK rejected the Government’s pay offer.
The result of the ballot was announced at the start of the NEU’s annual conference this morning . After a period of intensive talks with unions, the Government offered teachers a £1,000 one-off payment for the current school year and an average 4.5% pay rise for staff next year .Many schools in England were forced to partially or fully close during strikes staged by the NEU in February and March as a result of a dispute over pay.
“We have today written to the Education Secretary informing her of the next two days of strike action on April 27 and May 2 that NEU teacher members in England will now be taking. These strikes are more than three weeks away; Gillian Keegan can avoid them.”
