National Education Union members staged eight days of strike action in state schools in England last year in a pay dispute.

A teaching union will delay moving to a formal ballot on strike action until it knows what the Government’s pay offer for teachers will be for September.

The Government has yet to publish the recommendations of the School Teachers’ Review Body , or its decision on whether to accept them. The debate came after an overwhelming majority of NEU teacher members in England and Wales who took part in a preliminary ballot said they would strike to secure a fully funded, above-inflation pay rise and improved funding.

NEU members staged eight days of strike action in state schools in England last year in a pay dispute. In July last year, the Government agreed to implement the STRB’s recommendation of a 6.5% increase for teachers in England, and co-ordinated strike action by four education unions was called off.
