Teachers striking over pay and working conditions have taken part in a rally outside the Welsh Parliament.
Pickets were mounted by National Education Union (NEU) members on the steps of the Senedd and outside schools across Wales during the third day of walkouts on Thursday.
Industrial action was paused last month for union members to consider an improved offer put forward by the Welsh Government, but it was ultimately rejected.
Ministers offered what they called a “strong” deal which included a 1.5% pay rise on top of the earlier 5%, a 1.5% one-off payment and measures to address workloads.
Those at the rally in Cardiff Bay said they were concerned about the retention of staff, saying people were leaving the profession for better-paid jobs outside of the education sector.
