PA reported that “Teachers in sixth-form colleges in England have voted to continue taking industrial action in a long-running dispute over pay.

“A re-ballot of members of the National Education Union showed that almost nine out of 10 wanted to carry on with a campaign of action.

“The union said sixth form college teachers have seen a 20 per cent cut in real terms pay since 2010.”

A previous industrial action took place on Thursday, April 27.
