Teachers Go On Strike!

Teachers across Aotearoa went on strike for better pay and better conditions. About 50'000 teachers went on strike and didn't turn up to school. Which meant that around 750'000 school students couldn't be taught anything. Most of the schools in New Zealand were unfortunately close, sadly ours as well.The ministry of education says 1,424 schools have notified the ministry that they will be closed for the strike. The government and the teachers are negotiating to decide how much they will be paid over the next 3 years. The government offered 3 percent raise for the next three years. Teachers across the country believe that's not enough.Teachers have vowed to strike again if the government doesn't give them better pay and better conditions after the mega strike.
