The National Education Union will vote on whether to accept the government’s pay recommendation.

Members of the NEU want the government to offer college staff the same pay deal as most teachers.

The teachers' union says the same pay award has not been guaranteed to all staff.

The National Education Union says 2,000 members are taking part in a walkout over pay.

Lessons at two colleges in Brighton & Hove and one in Horsham are affected.

Members of the team at Wirral Council say they have no other option than to stage the walkout.

Lauren Ellis, who came from Canada to teach in the UK, says British schools rely on the "altruism" of teachers.

Unions call it a 'positive start' to restoring teacher wages, which have fallen in real terms since 2010.
