Thousands of teachers in England and Wales are set to strike on Wednesday after talks between education unions and the government failed to reach an agreement.
The teachers' strike is the latest thread of widespread public sector disruption, with NHS staff, transport workers and civil servants walking out this month.
Unions from multiple sectors are calling for pay rises as the cost of living crisis bites this winter.
It has been confirmed this week that members of the National Education Union (NEU), the largest teachers’ union in the UK, will go on strike over pay.
