The National Education Union has suspended planned strike action in Wales next week, after the Welsh government increased their pay offer to 6.5 per cent with an additional 1.5 per cent one-off payment.
Teachers in Wales had been due to walk out again next Tuesday in a dispute over pay and school funding.
The NEU has demanded a fully-funded, above inflation rise for all teachers in England and Wales, but the current pay deal is worth just 5 per cent to most teachers.
However, the union has now suspended next week’s action after the Welsh government offered an additional 1.5 per cent increase in base pay, plus a 1.5 per cent “lump sum”.
