Teachers in England have voted to accept a government pay offer, Britain’s largest education unions said on Monday, in a boost for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s efforts to end a wave of disruptive public-sector strikes.
The National Education Union , whose strikes have shut British schools on a number of occasions this year, said teachers had voted to end industrial action and accept the 6.5% pay rise announced on July 13 by Sunak.
Education unions had said earlier this month they would call off planned strikes, and recommended voting to accept the government’s pay offer. “This is good news for teachers, good news for parents and most of all, good news for students,” Britain’s education minister Gillian Keegan said in a post on social media site X, formerly known as Twitter.
