Many schools are likely to fully or partially close on 5 and 7 July as teachers go on strike.
Dr Mary Bousted and Kevin Courtney, the NEU's joint general secretaries, said the education secretary had "turned her back" on teachers in England.
The government has offered a 4.3% pay rise for most teachers for 2023-24 with starting salaries reaching £30,000. However, talks stalled after all four unions rejected the government's offer, saying most schools would have to make cuts elsewhere to afford it. "We have seen a decrease in the amount of funding available for us. We do get more money in our budget, don't get me wrong, but to run a school, it costs a lot more money and something needs to happen to actually get us back in sync."
Kate, a doctor at the local hospital, had to take time off work when her seven-year-old daughter's primary school closed on previous strike days. But she says she is fully supportive of the teachers.
