Teachers are set to launch fresh strikes next month in their long-running dispute over pay.
Members of the National Education Union (NEU) will walk out on July 5 and 7, causing disruption to schools in the current term. The NEU is re-balloting its members to see if they want to continue taking industrial action for the rest of the year.
The other education unions – ASCL, NAHT and NASUWT – are also balloting their members for strikes over pay and funding for teachers in England. The unions have warned of co-ordinated action in the autumn term if there is no settlement to the dispute.
