Teachers Mega Strike

From The Panel, 4:40 pm on 13 May 2019

The Education Mega Strike looms. On Wednesday 29th of May almost 50,000 primary and secondary teachers and primary principals will walk off the job. It's the third strike in this campaign in a stand-off with the Ministry of Education. The strike will affect hundreds of thousands of students in more than 2000 schools. The president of the PPTA Jack Boyle tells us why teachers aren't satified with the government's latest offer.
