Minimum service levels (MSLs) to protect children and young people’s education are set to be introduced in schools and colleges, the government has announced today (Friday 20 October).
The proposals will put in place protections for children, young people and parents to ensure education can continue during any future strike action.
On 16 January the National Education Union (NEU), one of the trade unions representing the teaching profession, announced its intention to strike. Not enough members of two other unions - the National Association of Schoolmasters/Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT) and the National Association of Headteachers - voted in favour of taking industrial action.
