The NASUWT union will re-ballot teachers for industrial action after members voted to reject the government’s pay offer.
At its annual conference in Glasgow, the union announced 87 per cent of respondents to a consultative survey had voted to reject the offer of a £1,000 one-off payment this year and 4.3 per cent rise for most teachers from September.
The union said 52.4 per cent of its 130,000 eligible members in England voted in the survey.
NASUWT also asked members if they were willing to vote for strike action to achieve a “fair pay award”, 77 per cent of respondents said they would do so.
