Thousands of teachers across the United Kingdom went on strike today, demanding higher pay and better school funding. The strike, organized by the National Education Union (NEU), disrupted classes in nearly 70% of public schools.
Union leaders argue that teachers’ salaries have failed to keep pace with inflation, forcing many to leave the profession. The UK government, however, said budget limitations restrict its ability to increase wages further this fiscal year.
The ongoing dispute has sparked debates about the state of public education in Britain. Many parents expressed support for the teachers, while others raised concerns about the long-term impact on students’ learning.
