00:00Hello, my name is Amber Allitt and I'm a journalist specialising in education.

00:05Members of the National Education Union, who teach at 32 sixth form colleges across England,

00:11from Preston to Brighton, have announced new strike dates for January and February 2025.

00:18It's the latest in an ongoing dispute, which has already led to previous strike days in

00:22November and December.

00:24The union says that they are striking to protest a two-tier pay system for this academic year.

00:30Teachers in sixth form colleges that have become academies are set to get an extra 5.5% pay rise,

00:37but those who work in other state-funded colleges will only get a 3.5% increase.

00:42Dozens of schools are set to be impacted by the strikes, so here are the dates that parents

00:47at affected schools will need to know.

00:50The first day of action is set to take place on Wednesday 29 January, followed by two more

00:56on Thursday 6 February and Friday 7 February.

01:00If your child's school is among them, don't panic.

01:03The school should be in touch to let you know more.
