The National Education Union (NEU) will hold an indicative strike ballot in March, asking teachers if they would back further strikes over pay and school funding.
The union said that government “looks set to back a paltry” 1 to 2 per cent pay rise for teachers this year.
Education secretary Gillian Keegan last month warned the body that makes pay recommendations they must consider evidence on the “impact of pay rises on schools’ budgets”.
The NEU’s indicative ballot would be held on March 2, and will test members’ appetite to strike again after a series of walkouts last year that only ended after an improved 6.5 per cent pay offer.
