Teachers in England and Wales are taking strike action in a dispute over pay
. The teachers’ strike is the latest major walkout in a winter which has already seen industrial action in the health service, railways and postal service.
The first day of strikes will be on February 1 and more than 23,000 schools in England and Wales are expected to be affected, the NEU has said. The result comes after a ballot of members of the NASUWT teachers' union last week failed to reach the 50% turnout threshold.How much are teachers paid? According to the UK government’s Get into Teaching website, all qualified teachers earn a starting salary of at least £28,000 a year.
Teachers on the upper pay range can earn a maximum of £43,685 a year in England outside London, £44,919 in the London fringe area, £48,055 in outer London and £53,482 in inner London. To get into this range, teachers must “make a sustained and substantial contribution to their school”. In England outside London, leading practitioners earn between £44,523 a year and £67,585. In the London fringe area, they earn between £45,479 and £68,913 a year, rising to between £48,055 and £71,220 in outer London and from £52,936 to £76,104 in inner London.
