Teachers' strikes: School leaders to vote over strike action in England
By Vanessa ClarkeEducation reporter
A school leaders' union in England will ballot its members over strike action for the First Time .
The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) said the ballot will be over The School funding crisis, pay and conditions, and staff shortages.
Members will be asked to vote during the summer term and any action taken would be in the autumn term.
Geoff Barton, ASCL's General Secretary said The Action was taken " as a Last Resort and with a heavy heart".
He Said The Move reflected the " desperate situation regarding inadequate funding, long-term pay erosion, teacher shortages, and the intransigence of a government which we can only conclude does not value the education workforce or recognise the severe pressures facing the sector".
All four unions involved in the dispute have rejected an improved government pay offer.
A total of 56% of ASCL members voted on the offer, with 87% of those rejecting it.
The Department For Education previously said it was disappointed by strike action and had made teachers a " fair and reasonable offer".
It included a £1,000 one-off payment this year and a 4. 3% pay rise for most staff next year. The starting salary for teachers in England is also due to rise to £30,000 a year by September 2023.
The government said it believes schools can afford to fund most of the pay rise through money already promised in the Autumn Statement, but that it would have provided some additional money to fund The Remainder of it, and for the £1,000 one-off payment.
Most State School teachers in England had a 5% pay rise in 2022.
Unions want negotiations to continue, but the decision will now be made by the pay review body.
There are further strikes planned in England and Northern Ireland .
Members of the National Education Union in England are striking on Thursday 27 April and Tuesday 2 May and in Northern Ireland ,
The ASCL, which represents mostly head teachers and leaders, has More Than 23,000 members.
The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) is also over strike action.
