NASUWT won't join NUT for teachers' strike
NASUWT remains 'deeply concerned' about the 'adverse effect' of the government's policies on education

Teaching union NASUWT has said it remains "deeply concerned" about the "adverse effect" of the government's policies on education but stopped short of joining fellow teachers' union NUT on strike planned for Wednesday March 26.

NASUWT national executive revealed at the weekend it will not be staging a walkout this term unlike members of the NUT, which announced last week it will be walking out next month over pay, conditions and pensions.

NASUWT general secretary Chris Keates said staff across the country remained "angry, frustrated and demoralised" as a result of their dispute with Education Secretary Michael Gove.
