Over 35,000 Victorian public school teachers are preparing to strike this Thursday, rejecting the government’s 28.3% pay offer over four years — calling it disrespectful and inadequate. The Australian Education Union, after a slim majority vote, demands a 35% raise over three years to match inflation, citing stagnant wages, excessive unpaid hours, and underfunded schools. Victoria’s the only state without a national school funding agreement, worsening the crisis. While the Education Minister urges cancellation, citing national pay leadership and childcare chaos, teachers argue this strike is about preserving education quality — because poor conditions directly harm students.
