Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has admitted she cannot guarantee that schools will remain open during strikes by teachers starting next month.
Ms Keegan said introducing minimum service levels would protect “vulnerable children” in schools, but she hoped that the Government’s anti-strike legislation would not be needed for the teaching profession.
Her comments come after the controversial Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill passed its first hurdle in the Commons on Monday.
It came just hours after the National Education Union (NEU) announced plans to hold seven days of walkouts in February and March in a dispute over pay.
Nine out of 10 teacher members of the NEU in England and Wales who voted in the ballot backed strike action, and the union passed the 50% ballot turnout required by law.
The Education Secretary is due to meet the NEU on Wednesday in a bid to avert the walkouts which are due to start on February 1, and which the union has said could affect more than 23,000 schools.#talktv #talkradio

I was told today by somebody at work that kids in Primary schools are taught PE via KZfaq in class, the teacher watches a KZfaq video with them, I'm presuming they don't know how to teach PE, yet are employed to do so? These people want more money for playing a KZfaq video to kids?

Both my son's and their wife's are teachers. But anyone expecting expecting them think them going on strike when they get FULL pay for 14 wks holidays a year ( uni tutors have even more) really are spitting in the wind. Please don't go on about the hard work they do when on the 14 yks, I worked with adults with severe learning and physical disabilities and just got 4 plus bank hols of course. My son's sorted their new timetables out and class plans in the las week of the summer hols My eldest who went into teaching two years ago reviewed a 8% payride in Sept this year,finally sorted out ( wages office!) In November ,back payed of course. My daughter in law went through the bar this summer and got a good increase. Many teachers hate their job but Frankly let's face it so does MOST people,very few luckily ones " like" their jobs.

If teachers don’t like their pay/terms and conditions why don’t they do what most other people do and look for another job, go to interviews etc and change careers? If I decided not to work one day because I wanted to be paid more I’d just get fired. I’ve not had a pay rise in line with inflation in many many years. I really can’t get my head around why some people think they’re special cases and should be allowed to hold everyone to ransom??

I agree with both sides that the children are & have suffered in the last 2-3 years with the lockdowns with the limited interactions with teachers & other students, but at the same time I agree with the teachers striking as they need a pay rise especially now that we're in a cost of living crisis so things are even more financially tougher on them & everyone else. If we weren't in a cost of living crisis I think the teachers, nurses & the rest of the public service who're striking now wouldn't feel as much of a need to strike. For this scenario we need empathy on both sides which clearly isn't being shown on either side, not just on TalkTv but on all media platforms sadly. This situation is basically damn if you do strike & damn if you don't strike as you'll be struggling financially.
