Ministers have been urged to return to the negotiating table to avoid extended teachers’ strikes in England this summer, after NASUWT members voted decisively to reject the pay deal being offered by the government.

NASUWT is the fourth teaching union to reject the pay offer, with 87% of its members voting against acceptance. It follows similar rejections by the National Education Union (NEU), 98% of whose members voted against, as well as the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) and the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL).
