Education unions have been offered a £1,000 one-off payment for their members this year and a 4.3 per cent pay rise for most teachers in 2023-24, leaders have announced.
The offer also included the removal of the statutory requirement for schools to use performance related pay, Schools Week understands.
But the National Education Union has tonight urged its members to reject the offer in the “strongest possible way”, warning the offer is “not fully-funded”.
Dr Mary Bousted and Kevin Courtney, the NEU’s joint general secretaries, said it was an “insulting offer from a government which simply does not value teachers”.
