HUNDREDS of thousands of teachers will strike today amid a bitter dispute over pay.

Members of the National Education Union (NEU) in England will walk out today, in the second of two days of action which closed hundreds of schools across the nation yesterday.

The two-day strike was planned for Wales as well but was called off after the Welsh government revisited their pay offer.

The NEU has refused to suspend the mass action despite desperate pleas from Education Secretary Gillian Keegan.

Some schools will be fully closed, while other will open partially with a reduced staff as not all teachers and support workers are NEU members.

It follows a three-day strike last week after talks between unions and the Government broke down.

Rail workers are also taking industrial action today, while the London Underground opened late this morning following strikes by drivers yesterday.

Ms Keegan said in an open letter to parents: "This industrial action will mean more disruption to children's education and to your lives too – whether that's work, arranging childcare or changing other plans.

"I am extremely disappointed that many young people will once again miss invaluable time learning with their teachers and friends, particularly after their education was significantly disrupted during the pandemic.

"This morning I have written to the unions again to invite them to have those talks on Wednesday and Thursday this week – all they need to do is call off strikes which are unnecessary and benefit no-one."
