TEACHERS’ strikes will be debated at the National Education Union’s (NEU) annual conference after members overwhelmingly rejected the government’s unfunded pay offer of 2.8 per cent today.

The union released the results of its preliminary electronic ballot of serving teacher members who work in state schools in England ahead of the start of its conference in Harrogate tomorrow.

The NEU national executive will discuss the results next week with the conference to decide the next steps following the ballot.
