Teachers in England have overwhelmingly rejected a pay offer from the British government aimed at ending a series of disruptive strikes, their trade union said on Monday, announcing two further days of walkouts.<\/p>\n

The National Education Union, Britain’s largest education union, said 98% of teachers who voted in the ballot followed\u00a0its advice to reject<\/a>\u00a0the offer of a one-off payment this year of 1,000 pounds and an average pay rise of 4.5% in the next financial year.<\/p>\n

“This resounding rejection of the government’s offer should leave (education minister) Gillian Keegan in no doubt that she will need to come back to the negotiating table with a much better proposal,” NEU joint General Secretaries Mary Bousted and Kevin Courtney said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“The offer shows an astounding lack of judgement and understanding of the desperate situation in the education system.”<\/p>\n

Tens of thousands of teachers across Britain have taken strike action this year in demand of an above-inflation pay award, leaving classrooms empty and heaping pressure on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to help resolve the dispute.<\/p>\n

The union said teachers would take two further days of strike action, on April 27 and May 2.<\/p>\n

The government has argued that higher pay rises would only worsen inflation.<\/p>\n

Teachers in Wales have ended their strike action after\u00a0voting to accept<\/a>\u00a0a pay offer comprising an additional 3% pay award for 2022\/23 alongside a 1.5% one-off payment, and a government-funded 5% rise for the following year.<\/p>\n

Scotland’s largest teaching union has also accepted a pay deal to end long-running strikes, which it said would amount to a 14.6% increase in pay for most teachers by January 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
