The Government offered teachers a £1,000 one-off payment for the current school year and an average 4.5% pay rise for staff next year following intensive talks with the education unions. Four education unions, the NEU, the NASUWT teaching union, the National Association of Head Teachers and the Association of School and College Leaders, have rejected the pay offer. “If the Government does not reach a fair settlement on pay, the recruitment and retention crisis crippling frontline services will only get worse.” Nurses rejected a deal over anger at how the Government has handled negotiations, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has said.
