The payrise for teachers is not fully funded despite the government's initial announcement.
The estimated cost for a 6.5% pay rise is around £1.6b with the additional funding provided being £900m.
The union leaders were told to recommend the deal by 12:30 or it would be withdrawn.
Teachers accepting this is basically voting to reduce staff numbers in their schools but I worry it will be accepted because lots of teachers aren't willing to escalate the strike action.
