Even more disruption is planned for school students this term, with PPTA members undertaking rolling strikes to put pressure on the government. With increased truancy rates and sinking standards of literacy and numeracy, our education sector is in a real mess.

> PPTA has announced from Monday, members in secondary and area schools around the country will continue to refuse to give up their scheduled planning and marking time to relieve absent teachers or positions that are vacant. \[…\]  
>  
> PPTA told Newshub the week beginning May 1, year 11 will be rostered home on Thursday.  
>  
> The following week (the week beginning May 8) year 12 will be rostered home on Tuesday and year 13s on Thursday.  
>  
> The week beginning May 15 will see year 9 rostered home on Tuesday and Year 10s on Wednesday.

And just in case that’s not enough:

> In the third week of term (the week beginning May 8), PPTA members plan to strike on different days in different regions, starting down south and finishing up north.

If demands aren’t met, will the rolling strikes continue?
