The Guardian: Teachers threaten strike action over class sizes
· NUT wants a limit of 20 pupils per class by 2020
· Union’s relationship with government at new low
Teachers in England and Wales are threatening a nationwide strike unless the government promises to reduce class sizes to no more than 20 pupils by 2020. The National Union of Teachers will vote tomorrow on industrial action to force the government into making a commitment to reduce class sizes, which they say are putting some schools under intolerable pressures.
