Teachers Going On Strike

Teachers around the country have made a decision that it is time to for them to go on strike. Some teachers are going on strike for more money because the amount of money they have been getting payed is really small so they ask and hope they get payed more.

Most school's in New Zealand have been closed because. Teachers need more staff members to give education to kids like us. A number of teachers marched through the streets of our main cities, demanding a better deal from the government.

The Government says it’s offered $1.2 billion to the teachers and it won’t back down. At this time the government has offered teachers a 3 percent pay rise for the next three years. Teachers across the country believe that this is not enough.
