The government has accepted a recommendation of a 6.5 per cent pay rise for teachers, but will only provide extra funding for 3 per cent.
Gillian Keegan’s decision on pay for the 2023-24 academic year is due to be published today, alongside the report of the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB).
In a joint statement, general secretaries of the four education unions said they would put the deal to members “with a recommendation to accept the STRB recommendation”.
“This deal will allow teachers and school leaders to call off strike action and resume normal relations with government.”
