Teachers from across the Borough rallied outside Maidenhead Town Hall yesterday morning (April 27) for the fourth national strike date this year. “A teacher in Windsor and Maidenhead, who’s been teaching for six years, earns £8000 less than a similar teacher in Scotland. Elaine Hurrell, NEU Windsor and Maidenhead District Secretary added: “No teacher wants to strike but they are making a once in a generation stand for the future of education. NEU members claim that the funding would be sourced from the school’s ‘already depleted budget’ and lead to ‘difficult decisions in what to prioritise’. Teachers who are members of the NEU will strike again on Tuesday, May 2 as government negotiations have not yet progressed.
