Teachers in England strike over F-grade pay
Members of the National Education Union (NEU) take part in a rally through Westminster to Parliament Square, London, as teachers stage walkouts across England in an ongoing dispute over pay. Picture date: Wednesday July 5, 2023.
TEACHERS took to school picket lines and staged rallies across England in a third day of strike action yesterday — including in Durham, ahead of the Miners’ Gala today.
National Education Union (NEU) joint general secretaries Kevin Courtney and Mary Bousted attended the Durham teachers’ rally and demanded that the government publish the recommendations of the independent School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) on what pay increase they should receive.
They warned that the government faces “an unprecedented show of determination and unity across the profession” if it continues to refuse to negotiate a settlement.
