The New Zealand Educational Institute (NZEI) Te Riu Roa announced on Wednesday morning that primary teachers and principals will strike for the day on August 15- the first time in 24 years.
The aim is to address the lack of extra learning support available to children who need it, teacher recruitment and retention crisis that could see class sizes blow out to ridiculous numbers.
