Good student. Teacher pay increase!!

They actually got a pay increase as part of the deal the government forced on them.

What they were really fighting for is a cap on classroom sizes as the current student count makes things too complex.

Thanks for this, the article is extremely unclear about what the strikes were about and how things unfolded. Do you know what the current student cap, if any?

Thank you! I know not this!
