HUNDREDS of teachers are set to strike next Wednesday in a dispute over pay.

The action, which will result in almost every school in the Island closing, comes after teachers rejected a 7.9% pay rise.

The striking teachers are members of the NEU union, which has called for a one-year pay deal for 2023 of RPI+5%.

The NASUWT union, whose members are ‘working to rule’ but not striking, are calling for the following three-year deal:

RPI+5% from January this year; RPI+4% from January next year and the same again from January 2025.
