Teachers will go on strike for another two days this school term, the National Education Union has announced.
The union’s national executive said strikes by its members will take place on Wednesday, July 5 and Friday, July 7.
UNE members previously he was on strike on three dates in February and three dates in March.
The strikes are part of a long-running dispute between the unions and the government over wages.
NEU is currently voting its members back to see if they want to continue industrial action for the rest of the year.
The other education unions ASCL, NAHT and NASUWT are also voting their members to strike over teacher pay and funding in England.
Unions have warned of coordinated action in the fall term if there is no resolution to the dispute.
Commenting on the last few days of the strike, Dr Mary Bousted and Kevin Courtney, joint general secretaries of the National Education Union, have said it is within the power of Education Secretary Gillian Keegan to stop this action.”
They have said that Ms Keegan can avoid strikes by publishing the School Teacher’s Review Body (STRB) wage recommendation and then “enter into substantive talks” to reach an agreement with the unions to end the dispute.
They added in a statement: “Time and time again, the National Education Union, along with its sister unions, have called on the education secretary to move to the bargaining table to resolve this dispute over a fully funded teacher pay increase.
“Time and time again our calls have fallen on rocky ground.
“The education secretary refused to re-enter the negotiation on the grounds that she and her department were waiting for the publication of the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) salary recommendation.”
Since April: Education secretary should ‘stop bullying tactics’
The NEU said the minister had received the body’s report and recommendations but would not comment on speculation that he was suggesting a 6.5% pay increase.
Union leaders said they were concerned that the government was contemplating not implementing the report or not adequately funding it.
They added that the education secretary says she will “publish the report on her own time, which according to her department’s recent record will be at least another month.”
His statement continues: “This causes great uncertainty in schools and is a great disrespect for principals. None can adequately plan for next year.”
“Unlike her counterparts in Scotland and Wales, where pay disputes have been settled, this education secretary has deliberately turned her back on teachers in England.
“Nobody wants to go on strike, but when faced with an Education Secretary who clearly has no interest in resolving this dispute, teachers have no choice.”
