Teachers Across England Strike Again Over Pay, Disrupting Schools

  • Education union leaders are calling on the government to publish pay recommendations and resolve the ongoing dispute.
  • Poor relations between unions and the Education Secretary are complicating negotiations over teachers' salaries, which have dropped over the past decade.
  • The latest strikes in London and across England are affecting end-of-year activities and disrupting over 22,000 schools.
  • The government's offer of a one-time payment and pay increase was rejected by teachers demanding fully-funded raises above inflation.
  • Further strikes in the fall are likely if a resolution is not reached, with the possibility of coordinated action by multiple unions.
