Thousands of teachers have once again taken to the picket line for another strike day. Following previous action last month, staff are walking out today, Thursday, April 27, and again on Tuesday, May 2.
It comes after they rejected the government's latest pay offer, which would give leaders and teachers a one-off payment of £1,000 this year and an average pay rise of 4.5% in 2023 to 2024.
While the NEU says the offer is much too low, the refusal to accept it largely centres on how the increase would be funded.
