Teachers in England are preparing to close all state schools for several days in the summer after they rejected a Pay Offer from the Government. Unions are preparing to shut down all state schools in England for several days in the summer after they rejected a pay offer from the Government. However, the action could be called off if teachers are presented with an NHS-style deal, unions have indicated. The average teacher salary in England is £39,500, compared to £35,000 for nurses. An NEU source said that its members could also be prepared to back an NHS-style deal. The union source said: “The fully funded aspect of the pay offer is absolutely crucial…Even the much poorer NHS deal could get across the line – but only if it were genuinely fully funded for every school.”
