Members of the NASUWT teaching union have voted by 78 per cent to reject moving to a formal ballot for strike action over pay and workload.
The union, which had around 270,000 members across the UK as of August 2022, said “political campaigning to secure a government prepared to fix the damage inflicted on the education service over the last 14 years must now be the priority”.
Its membership “have no confidence in the current government’s ability to deliver the changes needed”.
Teachers “need change from a new government that is committed to delivering a new deal for teachers and education”.
