The general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders said that talks in Whitehall today 'signalled a greater sense of urgency' from the government, but with no new offer on the table, the dispute will continue.
Union leaders did not rule out future talks with Ms Keegan and the education department, but no date has been set.Mr Courtney apologised to parents and carers, saying:"We do not want to take strike action. We want the government to move.
"But the further talks that are being discussed don't look like they will discuss the question of this year's pay or even give us a number about next year's pay. "They are unlikely to be able to move it if the talks aren't about a wider agenda than is currently scheduled."The NEU suspended its planned strike in Wales this week after receiving an offer from the Welsh government of an extra 1.5% on top of this year's 5% pay award, as well as a 1.5% one-off payment.
