NASUWT members reject pay offer for teachers in England

Vote against acceptance of 4.5% pay rise follows similar rejections from NEU and other teaching unions

Ministers have suffered a decisive rejection of their pay offer to teachers in England, and face the threat of further industrial action, after NASUWT members voted against accepting the offer.

NASUWT is the fourth teaching union to reject the offer, with 87% of members voting against acceptance. It follows similar rejections by the National Education Union (NEU), 98% of whose members voted against, as well as the National Association of Head Teachers and the Association of School and College Leaders.
