Teachers walk in protest
Claiming pay too low, an insult
Strike action looms

"Anger among teachers in England over pay and school funding is hardening after what union leaders hailed as an “unprecedented” rejection of the government’s latest offer.

Nearly 200,000 National Education Union members voted by 98% to 2% to reject the government’s offer of a £1,000 one-off payment and a 4.5% pay rise next year"

Solidarity with teachers fighting for better pay, conditions & our childrens' futures.

So much I should say on #Ofsted and also the derisory pay offer for teachers in England. It’s just crap isn’t it?! I don’t regret leaving teaching, and I should. #TeachersStrike #teachers #education

A favourite frame from yesterday's momentous strike protests in London. A young boy caught in the midst of the chaos, his gaze levelled at the camera. His mum and dad were both striking teachers. The placard in his hands reads: "Our mum and dad are striking to protect our future!" 📸©

#Teachers have been on strike here in #Venezuela as well. Today, I'm headed down to a meeting at the village school house to talk about what's going to happen for our kids.

Teachers make about $7 a month in this country, where the basic costs of living have been calculated at around $400 a month for a family of 5.
