The pay offer followed a week of intensive talks between unions and Education Secretary Gillian Keegan. What was the offer that was put to unions? The School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) makes recommendations on the pay of teachers in England and reports to the Secretary of State for Education and the Prime Minister.Īs is normal, the STRB will look only at pay for next year, meaning teachers will not receive a one-off payment for this year (2022 to 2023). Teacher pay for next year is now going through an independent pay review process as usual.
The NEU, ASCL, NAHT and NASUWT are all balloting their members for industrial action in schools in England in the Autumn Term. The offer included significant new investment for schools to fund pay rises and commitments to reducing workload by five hours a week. Members of the National Education Union (NEU), the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) and NASUWT voted to turn down the offer in April. The National Education Union (NEU) has announced two additional strike days in schools in England on 5 and 7 July.Įarlier this year, teachers in England rejected a pay offer from the Government that would have seen salaries rise by 4.5% on average next year, alongside a one-off payment of £1,000 for this year (2022 to 2023)
