Teachers voting on strike action as coming months could see most North East children sent home

Schools in England and Wales could close to all but the most vulnerable pupils over the coming months if teachers are to strike this year.

Members of the teaching unions NASUWT, the National Association of Head Teachers and the National Education Union are currently voting on strike action with ballots closing by January 13. On top of this, the Association of School and College Leaders has already held a 'consultative ballot' last month and is deciding on its next steps.

As a result, we may see a return to the measures last seen in schools during the pandemic, with mainstream education being shut down for the majority of children, Wales Online reports.
