The rise won’t be funded, forcing schools to make further cuts. On top of this, the government plans to remove the annual 1,265-hour limit on directed time, further increasing teacher workload. More details in our FAQs here.👉 bit.ly/4rEVcjQ #SaveEducation

Why is the NEU balloting teachers? The government is offering teachers a 6.5% pay rise over three years: likely below inflation and nowhere near enough to undo the 20% real-terms pay cut since 2010.

What is an online indicative ballot? The indicative ballot will ask teacher and support staff members in state-funded schools in England whether they are prepared to take strike action to secure fully funded pay increases, stop workload increasing further and prevent redundancies.
