Teachers across England and Wales are expected to strike on the first day of planned industrial action for better pay. It has been estimated that at least 23,000 schools will be closed during these strikes, forcing 4.5 million children to miss a day of education. UK correspondent Kay Oliver says that this is part of a bigger wave of industry strikes, as train drivers and civil servants will be joining the planned walkouts. Kay Oliver says these next few days of planned strikes will be difficult for parents and families, especially those with high-needs children.
