School leaders in Wales have rejected an offer from the Welsh government in their dispute over pay, workload and funding. It means they will continue to work to rule.
The decision follows teachers accepting a revised pay offer on Thursday, ending their dispute and strike action. But after a 10-day online ballot that closed today 54.5% of National Association of Head Teachers Cymru members taking part voted to reject the offer.
The union said that funding arrangements remained a major concern for school leaders across Wales and called on the Welsh Government to “help save our schools from ruin”. NAHT Cymru director Laura Doel placed the blame with the employers.
