Striking teachers have been urged to warn schools before this week's walkouts to 'minimise the impact on children'.
The Cabinet minister wrote in a letter to unions on Friday: "I understand the importance of maintaining teachers' right to strike, but I hope this important right can be protected whilst minimising the impact on children - especially in the context of the disruption they have faced due to Covid.
"With that in mind, I am calling on the National Education Union to encourage their members to alert their headteacher if they intend to take strike action on Wednesday. "Your co-operation would help ensure our dispute does not cause additional and unnecessary disruption." National Education Union joint general secretary Kevin Courtney accused Keegan of trying to make a “cheap political point”.
Mr Courtney said this afternoon: "On Friday the Department of Education failed to meet the deadline to submit its evidence to the School Teachers’ Review Body.“We hope the Secretary of State will bring forward concrete proposals to end this dispute and avert the strike action.”
