Millions of children face online learning once again as teachers plan to go on
strike next month - and we want to know what you think.

The National Education Union (NEU), which has 300,000 members, announced
national strikes on February 1 and March 15 and 16, as well as regional action
on four other days.

Around 90 percent of overworked and underpaid school staff balloted by the NEU
in England backed walkouts as part of a dispute over pay and working conditions.

More than 23,000 schools in England and Wales are expected to be hit by the
first walkout, with heads given guidance on switching to online lessons if they
haven't got enough staff to keep schools open.

Teachers are furious at the Government’s 5 percent pay offer for most
experienced staff, which is equivalent to a 5 percent real terms wage cut due to
high inflation, says the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

Dr Mary Bousted and Kevin Courtney, Joint General Secretaries of the National
Education Union, said: "The average 5% pay rise for teachers this year is some
7% behind inflation. In the midst of a cost of living crisis, that is an
unsustainable situation."

Education secretary Gillian Keegan has labelled the move “deeply disappointing”
and said children were still struggling to recover from the impact of the Covid
pandemic on their education.

Industrial action will also take its toll on parents, who will need to arrange
childcare for the seven days of strikes.
