The Government and education unions are set to hold “intensive talks” on pay and conditions following a series of strikes by teachers in recent months.
Members of the National Education Union (NEU) first went on strike in February in a dispute over pay and held further strikes on Wednesday and Thursday (March 15 and 16) which saw a number of schools across the North East close as a result.
The talks, which will focus on pay, conditions and workload reduction, will involve unions including the National Education Union (NEU), whose members were on strike in England earlier this week.
