any strike by teachers, a huge knock on effect. most state school teachers in england had a 5% rise in 2022, and a 3% rise was recommended from this year. but the unions want above inflation increases, and to ensure pay rises don t come out of schools budgets. they argue they are playing catch up on pay over the last more than a decade. the government says it s a fair and reasonable offer and that schools would receive an extra £2.3 billion over the next two years. are you a pupil or parent off school and work today? how are the strikes affecting you? do you agree with what the teachers are doing? teachers please get in touch, too tell me why this matters. this morning are teachers right to strike? a pay deal for hundreds of thousands of nhs staff in england is expected to be settled later. ministers will meet health bosses and representatives from m unions this lunchtime. but some workers including nurses are still opposed to the offer, which includes a 5% rise
