Schools across Wales will be affected next week as teachers and staff strike over pay and conditions. Thousands of teachers and staff are walking out in a strike by members of the National Education Union Cymru (NEU) on Wednesday, February 1 with further strikes planned for February 14, March 15 and 16.
Unions have dismissed the 5% pay offer from Welsh Government as an insult. They said an offer of a one of added payment, in addition to the 5%, made by Cardiff Bay after talks last week, would not avert strikes.
