Teachers To Stage New Strikes Over Pay Row

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 05 September 2013 | 16.12

Teachers are planning a fresh round of strikes in October in a move that will affect hundreds of schools.

Two teaching unions have announced their members will walk out in eight areas of England next month in a long-running row over pay, pensions and workload.

A national walkout is likely to follow before Christmas.

The new strikes, on two days in October, are the latest move in the campaign by the National Union of Teachers (NUT) and the NASUWT over Government education reforms.

The Government has condemned the unions' rolling campaign of walkouts and said it is disruptive to pupils' education.

NUT and NASUWT members in the East Midlands, West Midlands, Yorkshire and Humberside and the Eastern region will take part in a walkout on October 1.

Those in the North East, London, the South East and the South West will strike on October 17.

Teachers are "angry, frustrated and concerned" about the Government's reforms, the unions said.

No strike dates have been announced for Wales because the Welsh government has sought to engage with teachers over the key issues, the NUT and NASUWT added.

Education Secretary Michael Gove wrote to both unions in March to say he was willing to meet them to discuss their dispute, but also insisted that the "direction of travel" on both their key issues was "fixed".

Under the Government's reforms, due to come into effect from this autumn, teachers' pay will be linked to performance in the classroom - with schools setting salaries rather than following a national framework.

Changes have also been made to public sector pensions.
