The independent teacher pay review body has recommended a 6.5 per cent salary increase, the Sunday Times reported today.
The National Education Union said if the increase was fully funded then it could resolve the pay dispute, the newspaper added.
Government had refused to budge after its average 4.5 per cent increase was roundly rejected, leaving it instead up to the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB).
Given the reported reccomendation, the NEU has now called on education secretary Gillian Keegan to “break cover from Sanctuary Buildings”.
