“I understand that parents and teachers are frustrated but mainly I'm frustrated on behalf of our students. It's been hard for them. The industrial action today does not serve any purpose than to disrupt” - Minister for Education @smitchellmlc. 7news.link/3KGMUSy #7NEWS

Parents and students are being warned to expect more school strikes following today's teacher's rally outside the state parliament. Teachers say they're overworked, underpaid and understaffed and their campaign will continue until they win. 7NEWS.com.au

The teachers union has warned more strikes and more disruption could be on the way with a vow to continue their campaign until they win. As students stayed home or had minimum school supervision thousands of teachers rallied outside state parliament angry about pay overwork.

After ongoing strikes, the state opposition has denied that unions are forcing industrial action to help get Labor elected. The government says unions are being ordered to cause havoc, but the opposition says it has proved otherwise. #7NEWS
