Following what has become the biggest national strike day in over a decade, more teachers are planning to go on strike across February and March.
Members of the National Education Union (NEU) voted in favour of taking more industrial action in England and Wales. If the union does not vote to accept any new dates within the coming weeks, then the strikes will continue as planned.
On Wednesday, it is understood that "more than 200,000" NEU members went out on strike in a day of industrial action that was labelled "really effective", according to Kevin Courtney, joint general secretary of the NEU. Meanwhile, NEU leaders are continuing to call on the Education Secretary to "step up with concrete and meaningful proposals" on pay which would prevent any further strike action.
