A union representing Wales' school leaders has said the latest Welsh government pay offer is not worth putting forward to members.

National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) Cymru has put a planned ballot on hold due to a "lack of detail and transparency" on the latest deal.

The union also claimed schools in Wales were yet to benefit from £117m given to local authorities from Westminster.

Teachers are set to strike again next month despite a 6.5% pay rise offer.

The Welsh government said it is not bluffing when it claims there is no extra money to offer to striking teachers with other sectors also locked in industrial disputes.

NAHT Cymru described the improved offer, which includes an additional 1.5% as a one-off payment this year, and a commitment on workload, as "positive".
