More than 1,700 teachers from Bucks are expected to go on strike in protest against school funding cuts and “unmanageable and exhausting” workloads.
Annette Pryce, Bucks NUT division secretary said it was not taking the action “lightly” and current conditions were having a “damaging” effect on children’s education.
She said: “Teachers are the last line of defence for our students’ education and the chaotic policies of this government is leaving it to ruin as they pursue their dogged ideologies.”
Bucks County Council’s Zahir Mohammed, cabinet member for education and skills, advised parents to check with schools to find out if they would be closed as teachers are not obliged to inform their school in advance of their decision to strike.
