Strikes will close most state schools in England and Wales for several days over the next two months if teachers vote this week for industrial action.
The National Education Union has rejected a 5% pay offer and is expected to reveal the result of its strike ballot on January 16.
It is understood the NEU is planning several days of action from the start of February to the middle of March. Two other teaching unions are balloting this week but NEU general secretary Kevin Courtney said the result was likely to be close.If the vote passes, Mr Courtney said: ‘We will call on members in all schools in England and Wales to strike – many would have to close.’
The union was aware it must try not to alienate parents and most would understand the teachers’ actions, he added. He said: ‘I think parents are starting to pick up the day-to-day situation in schools – that their child’s maths teacher might never have acquired a maths qualification, that there is such a rapid turnover of teachers all the time, that there is a lot of disruption.’
