The government and the National Education Union (NEU) have finally agreed to start pay talks.
A joint statement released this morning stated the NEU would “create a period of calm” for two weeks, during which no further strike dates will be announced.
It comes after the last scheduled industrial action by members in England took place on Wednesday and Thursday.
“In order for talks to begin and, we hope, reach a successful conclusion, the NEU has confirmed it will create a period of calm for two weeks during which time they have said no further strike dates will be announced,” the statement read.
