There may soon be a nationwide teachers’ strike taking place in the UK. The leaders of the largest teachers’ union in the country, the National Education Union (NEU) recently encouraged their members to strike. Both leaders expressed their belief that the government will not respond to anything but strike activity. The unions’ upset is in response to government funding plans- teachers do not feel that the government is offering schools enough financial support.
