Teachers in England have voted to end strike action and accept the government’s offer of a 6.5% pay rise, which is partly supported by new government funding. More than 80% of teachers who voted in three unions and 77% in the other accepted the pay deal.
In a joint statement with the prime minister, teachers’ union leaders stated that the pay offer “recognises the vital role that teachers play in our country, and ensures that teaching will continue to be an attractive profession”.
