Which schools are closed today? List of schools closing in England and Wales because of teacher strikes
- Thousands of National Education Union (NEU) teachers are on strike
- It comes amid the ongoing pay dispute between the NEU and the Government
Teacher members of the National Education Union (NEU) in England and Wales will walk out from thousands of schools tomorrow, impacting millions of children.
The strikes – the first of seven days worth in February and March – follow failed talks on Monday afternoon between Education Secretary Gillian Keegan and the general secretaries of unions representing teachers and headteachers.
They had hoped to resolve a pay dispute which threatens disruption to more than 23,000 schools this week.
But after the walkouts were confirmed, parents and guardians up and down the country are now being forced to juggle their plans and work commitments as their children spend the day away from the classroom.
