Head teachers across the UK will vote for strike action for the first time in history
The union wants a mass walk-out over “the school funding crisis, the erosion of teacher and leader pay and conditions, and consequent staff shortages which are undermining the education system”.
Geoff Barton, General Secretary of ASCL, said: “ASCL has never before formally balloted at a national level and this is clearly a very significant step.
“The fact that we have reached this point reflects the desperate situation regarding inadequate funding, long-term pay erosion, teacher shortages, and the intransigence of a government which we can only conclude does not value the education workforce or recognise the severe pressures facing the sector.”
