The education minister says that it is "disappointing" that the NEU has decided to go ahead with teachers strikes, adding "unions are expressing views to their membership and I think that it is unhelpful". Nick Gibb also says "it isn't helpful" if members are being asked not to tell headteachers if they are striking by unions. Report by Wardl.
