No school for over 200,000 pupils as ASTI set to strike
While union officials will meet the Department of Education again today to discuss pay grievances, schools have notified parents not to send children in tomorrow, the day of the first of seven strikes by ASTI’s 18,000 members planned up to December 7.
But hundreds of schools will close indefinitely after the mid-term break, as nearly 400 which are staffed entirely by ASTI members still have not advertised for staff to take over supervision duties.
