Later this month, negotiations between unions and the government are expected to begin on a new teachers’ contract, because the current deal expires this coming June. And of course, we all remember the last time around, when schools had to shut up shop because of the strikes.
Discussions this time around come against the backdrop of teacher shortages, and other problems plaguing the education sector. So what will the unions be looking for from the government when the negotiations begin?
