TEACHER strikes next week will likely now be scrapped by unions as a “sign of goodwill” ahead of pay talks.
Bosses will recommend to the NEU’s executive that walkouts on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday should be paused.
Teacher strikes next week could be paused
Last night Education Secretary Gillian Keegan invited unions to fresh wage negotiations – on the condition they halt strikes.
The NEU snubbed the olive branch and said it was “nothing substantial” to get them to back down.
But in a screeching u-turn this afternoon the militant union agreed to return to the table and call off the strikes.
A statement said: “We welcome the commitment to substantive and formal talks to resolve the dispute – which is fundamentally about pay and funding this year.
“In a sign of goodwill, if substantive progress can be made, we are prepared to recommend a pause to strikes next week to our National Executive Committee this Saturday.””
