Primary School teachers to go on strike - July 4 2018

Primary school teachers and Principals have voted to go on strike on 15th of August. This is the first time the primary school teachers are going on strike after 24 years. The New Zealand Educational Institute have rejected the Ministry of Educations’ offer and are seeking a 16% pay rise and improved work conditions. The strike will be about bringing attention to the teacher’s shortage and to provide further support to children. Louise Green from the New Zealand Educational Institute tells us a little more about the strike.
