‘It’s about the future’: parents on the school strikes in England and Wales

Five parents give their views on the strikes that begin on Wednesday and discuss how they will be affected

Members of the National Education Union (NEU) will strike in schools across England and Wales on Wednesday in the first of seven days of industrial action that is expected to impact tens of thousands of schools.

A poll of teachers by the surveying app Teacher Tapp suggests that up to three in every five schools in England could be closed or partly closed on Wednesday.
