Fears have been raised that GCSE and A-Level results could be disrupted after staff at England’s largest exam board voted in favour of strike action.
In a ballot of Unison members of the AQA exam board, 71 per cent voted in favour of a strike. Unison said the turnout was above the 50 per cent threshold for a strike ballot.
But a spokesman said no decision on strike action has been taken yet.
If a strike does takes place it risks delaying the exam results of thousands of students who were the first to sit exams for three years due to the pandemic.
