National leaders of the National Union of Teachers have called off strike action in Oxfordshire after gaining minimal concessions.
The 32 remaining teachers-due to be sacked on August 31 because they were taken on last year with a one-year contract and had not found permanent positions through redeployment-have been retained on the pay roll and will be slotted into permanent jobs as vacancies occur during the year.
On the pupil-teacher ratio however the county council remains intransigent and claims that staffing figures will soon be down to budgetted levels (an almost 10% cut).
in individual schools the teaching establishment has been cut but reorganised timetables and shorter working arrangements have made it impossible for individual teachers to prove they face increased workloads.
The sanctions that the NUT Executive have announced but not organised etfectively are totally inadequate to mortise teachers in a serious right.
