Sixth Form Strike Action

Sixth-form college students in England could face walkouts after members of a teaching union voted in favour of strikes in a dispute over pay and funding.

Members of the National Education Union (NEU) who teach in 32 sixth form colleges have backed strike action in a fight for an above-inflation pay award.

The move comes after the Government announced in July that teachers and leaders in England will receive a fully-funded 5.5% pay rise this year.
