BBC: Teachers demand 10% pay increase
Teachers’ strike
Teachers staged a one-day strike last year over pay
The biggest teachers’ union in England and Wales is calling for a 10% pay rise – and says the economic downturn should not be an “excuse” for low pay rises.
The National Union of Teachers has submitted its demand to the profession’s pay review body.
A government spokesman says the current recommended 2.3% offer represents a “good deal” for teaching staff.
