TEACHERS at non-academised sixth form colleges announced further strike action today after they were offered less pay than their peers.
More than 2,000 National Education Union (NEU) members at 32 of the colleges will walk out on January 29 and on February 6 and 7.
News of the strikes follows last summer’s announcement that teachers in England would receive a fully funded 5.5 per cent pay rise from September, while their colleagues in sixth forms without academy status were offered only 3.5 per cent.
