There's a growing tide of frustrated parents demanding an end to rolling teacher strikes that have seen thousands of high school students missing valuable class time. The Ministry of Education and the Post Primary Teachers Association are back at the bargaining table today. But after the last pay offer was rejected industrial action ramped back up this week with union members refusing to teach two year levels per day, except on Fridays, for the remainder of the term. Last night we brought you the story of a Hamilton parent who's launched a petition calling for an immediate halt to rolling strikes. Other parents have joined the chorus, concerned their children are collateral damage in the industrial dispute, having already missed days of education due to covid and flooding. For some, NCEA assessments are imminent and others taking practical subjects say they haven't been able to complete course work at home. So how long can this go on? PPTA acting president Chris Abercrombie spoke to Lisa Owen. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6329461919112
