A teaching union has agreed to defer strike action due to be held next week.
Members of the Scottish Secondary Teachers Association (SSTA) "marginally" voted to accept a new pay offer from the Scottish government.
However it was rejected by the Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers.
The SSTA said it would hold off on industrial action following the consultation with its members, but it still expected an improved offer in the coming days.
Industrial action was due to take place action on Tuesday and Wednesday next week.
Members of two other unions - the EIS and the NASUWT - will still strike on those days.
