The two biggest teachers' unions have announced plans for a national strike in England before Christmas. The two biggest teachers' unions say plans are in place for a national strike in England before Christmas in a row over pay, pensions and workloads.
Members of the NUT and NASUWT will walk out in the Midlands, east of England and Yorkshire on 1 October. Members of the NUT and NASUWT will walk out on a yet-to-be announced date if Education Secretary Michael Gove refuses to meet them, the unions say.
Teachers in London and the north east will go on strike on 17 October. A rolling programme of regional strikes will continue on 1 October in the east of England, the Midlands and Yorkshire.
There are also plans for a one-day national strike but a date for action has yet to be announced. Teachers in London and the North East will strike on 17 October.
The government has said the walkouts are disruptive to pupils' education.
Mr Gove wrote to both unions in March to say he was willing to meet them but the "direction of travel" on their key issues was "fixed".
