More talks between government officials and unions are taking place as schools prepare for teachers' strikes.
Schools Minister Nick Gibb said the two sides are expected to spend six hours discussing "pay but also other issues such as workload and the conditions of teachers in schools".
Earlier this week, teachers from the NEU union voted in favour of strike action in England and Wales.
Seven days of strikes will take place in February and March.
National and local strikes in Scotland have already begun.
Mr Gibb told BBC Breakfast that the government is negotiating with teachers, but said there are concerns about "inflation-busting pay settlements" which would mean embedding inflation into the economy "for the long term".
