Teachers who are members of the largest teaching union in the UK are to strike over pay in England and Wales on seven dates in February and March.
National strikes are to take place on 1 February, 15 and 16 March, along with several other regional dates.
It follows a ballot by the National Education Union (NEU) of its members in England and Wales, who voted ‘overwhelmingly’ for strike action in response to a ‘failure’ by the education secretary and employers in Wales to provide teachers with a fully-funded pay increase which at least matches inflation.
Most state school teachers in England and Wales were given a 5 per cent pay rise this year.
