Second day of disruption for strike-hit schools
NEU teachers are striking because they want an above-inflation pay increase, plus extra money to ensure any pay rises do not come from schools' existing budgets.After intensive talks, the government offered an additional one-off payment of £1,000. It also increased the offer for most teachers next year to 4.3%, with starting salaries reaching £30,000.
Almost 40,000 full-time working-age teachers left the profession last year - the highest level since records began in 2010 - according to government dataHowever, overall the number of teachers has increased by 2,800 to 468,400, because of more teachers entering the profession. She said: "I think members would accept 6.5% with one major addition, which is that it would be funded.
She said autumn strike action would not happen if a fully-funded 6.5% rise was offered, saying it was "in the government's hands".
