ACT public schools face another week of disruptions as teachers demand staffing guarantees

Key points

• ACT public schools will face disruptions from 19 to 23 October due to planned industrial action by the Australian Education Union. The union is demanding staffing guarantees from the ACT Government.
• One-hour work stoppages will affect different schools each day, with reduced supervision and possible cancellations of camps and excursions. The action follows reports of severe staffing pressures, including a teacher supervising a class of 90 students.
• The union has encouraged parents and community members to support their campaign.
