Patrick Roach, general secretary of the NASUWT teaching union, has accused the Government of ushering in an era where “teaching is no longer a sustainable way to make a living”.

The NASUWT union has been consulting its members in recent weeks to gauge whether they would be interested in taking industrial action on pay, workload, working hours and wellbeing.
