Schools strike: Teachers across England and Wales among workers on strike

Mary Bousted, joint general secretary of the NEU, accused ministers of failing to negotiate meaningfully on pay and said teachers had been "forced to stand up".

A "toxic combination" of below inflation pay offers and high workloads was leading to a third of new teachers quitting within five years, she claimed. "We'll ensure that the children do catch up," she said. "Those children will be given extra tuition." "We've had to say we're open. So if you choose to bring your children to us, then you can, but if you don't, that's your choice."

Mr Easun was able to look after them while his partner worked from home because he himself was taking part in university staff strikes.

We have a chaotic incompetent government that crashed our finances + doesn't value public service at all.They have nothing to say on retention. Bet they regret CutPriceTrump coming up with the name Key Workers. We saw during his lockdowns who really matters. FairPayForTeachers

Parents take their kids out of school for a day and they are 'damaging their education and must be fined' yet these lot have another day off on top of their 13 weeks holiday a year and every weekend off and it's OK apparently.

If they are not happy I suppose they could look for other jobs.

Good luck.
