Teaching unions warn of strikes in England despite reports of improved pay offer

Review body said to have told DfE 3% rise inadequate and instead recommended 5%

Mary Bousted, the joint general secretary of the National Education Union (NEU), welcomed suggestions of a 5% pay rise but feared it still amounted to a pay cut after taking inflation into account.
