A teaching union has rejected a pay offer put forward by the Welsh government.

More than two thirds (69%) of NASUWT members, who responded in a consultative survey, voted to turn down the revised offer which was tabled earlier this month.

The union’s general secretary, Dr Patrick Roach, said the response reflects “the depth of anger among teachers”.

In the renewed offer, ministers proposed a 1.5% pay rise on top of the earlier 5%, plus a 1.5% one-off payment.

The NASUWT said its members believe the offer is unfair in the current economic climate.
