Teaching unions have retreated from plans to call a national one-day strike before Christmas. The news will be a bitter blow to teachers across Britain who want to see a serious fight that can beat Tory education secretary Michael Gove.

Teachers won support for their strike from across Britain and the world.

Activists plan to protest at parliament over changes to young children’s education.
