Education Minister says negotiations continue despite strike announcement
The education minister says a teaching union's calls for a 30% pay increase are 'not realistic'.
Julie Edge's comments come after the NASUWT announced six days of strike action as a result of its ongoing dispute over pay erosion and working conditions.
The first of the strikes is due to take place later this month.
Despite this, Ms Edge says talks between her department and the union are ongoing:
