Why avoid teacher strikes?

Teacher strikes can disrupt children's education, forcing schools to close or offer limited services. They also create extra childcare challenges for parents. By providing additional funding for a pay rise, the government hopes to satisfy teachers' demands and prevent industrial action, keeping schools running smoothly for everyone.
