(Bloomberg) — The UK government and education unions have agreed to begin “intensive talks” in a bid to end a wave of teaching strikes over pay.
The talks will involve four trade unions: the National Education Union, Association of School and College Leaders, National Association of Head Teachers, and the NASUWT, according to a joint statement issued on Friday by the unions and the Department for Education.
No further school strike dates will be announced for two weeks while the talks take place. The move raises hope of a deal to end industrial action in schools, one day after the government reached a pay deal with nurses and ambulance workers.
