The Government is urging teachers not to back strike action, warning it will only achieve "disruption to children's learning".

The National Union of Teachers (NUT) has announced it will prepare for a ballot of its 255,000 members on a series of possible strikes in England and Wales after a one-day strike planned for next month.

The NUT conference in Manchester demanded that ministers give them a 10% pay rise - or £3,000 for every teacher this September, whichever is the greater.
