The National Education Union has said it will pause upcoming strikes – but only if a “decent” and “serious” pay offer from the government is made first.
Walk-outs by teachers across England look set to go ahead next Wednesday and Thursday, with a stalemate between the government and unions showing no signs of being resolved.
Gillian Keegan has offered to “consider a settlement” on pay, including discussions about next year’s increase and a “non-consolidated award for 2022-23”.
She would also continue discussions on “workload, terms and conditions’ improvements, and productivity-enhancing reforms”.
