Schools in England could face further strike action as the National Education Union has asked teachers to reject a new pay offer, after intensive talks.
In an interview with the BBC, Kevin Courtney, the NEU's general secretary, said his union was unhappy with the offer and believed it was "not fully funded in schools, and that the majority of schools would have to make cuts in order to afford it".
Paul Whiteman, the general secretary of the NAHT, said his union would consider the offer before deciding next steps.Image source,More than 50% of schools in England were fully closed or restricted attendance during strike days on 15 and 16 March, according to government data The BBC has been told if the unions reject the offer, the decision on how much teachers will be offered will be passed to the pay review body, an independent body which gathers evidence on what some public sector workers are paid. But if this happens, the £1,000 cash payment for this year would not happen.
