Nearly all schools in Swansea will be affected by the teachers' strike on Thursday, March 2. Members of the National Education Union (NEU) are striking for a second time in a row over pay and funding with two further dates set for March 15 and 16
Swansea Council has said that, as of Wednesday morning, 57 schools in the county will be shut, 16 will open and 22 have yet to confirm, but the full picture is unlikely to be clear until tomorrow.
Hundreds of schools are expected to shut across Wales on Thursday and staff do not have to inform heads if they intend to walk out. Headteachers who are members of the NAHT Cymru are also working to rule in the same protest over pay and as a result won't be organising cover for striking teachers.
