Thousands of teachers, principals, and staff in Victoria are striking again, demanding fair pay and better conditions after rejecting a government offer of a 28.3% raise over four years. With schools disrupted and parents scrambling for childcare, educators argue the deal doesn’t address years of underfunding, staffing shortages, and pay gaps — including a $13K difference compared to Northern Territory teachers. One mom supports the strike, calling it necessary to fix historical inequities. Experts warn the profession is at a breaking point, while the government pushes for a return to negotiations, claiming their offer would make Victoria’s teachers the best-paid in the nation — a claim the opposition dismisses as long overdue recognition.
