TEACHERS are set to endorse a new wave of strike action tomorrow, amid warnings of “dramatic” funding cuts and staff redundancies.

The National Union of Teachers (NUT) says Tory plans to freeze school funding per pupil coupled with changes to pay arrangements will leave councils struggling to cope in a school year from hell.

A motion likely to be heard at the union’s conference in Harrogate slams all of the main political parties for their “totally inadequate” response to the funding crisis in schools, suggesting strikes are possible even if the Tories are booted out of office.
