In New Zealand, school teachers started the first nationwide strike in the last 20 years. So far, the teachers have announced a strike for a period of seven days. About this reports Reuters.

Hundreds of thousands of children are forced to go on unplanned holidays, since about 30,000 teachers do not intend to go to work. The reason for this is the discontent of teachers with the level of wages. Teachers say that because of low wages, many vacancies are not filled; classes and study load are increasing.
The government has agreed to increase the teachers’ wage fund by $ 86.8 million, but teachers demand a larger increase.
