The UK government has announced an additional £500 million funding package for English schools in an effort to prevent planned teachers' pay strikes. The move comes amid ongoing disputes over wages and working conditions, with educators threatening walkouts over pay dissatisfaction. Officials hope the extra funding will help schools address financial pressures and improve teacher retention. The decision follows months of negotiations between unions and the government over pay and workload issues.
