About 40,000 primary school teachers, principals, and support staff will walk off the job on the 23rd of October, it'll be the first time ever those groups have taken strike action together. Public Service Commioner Sir Brian Roche spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

There's further disruption coming for students and parents - with primary school staff set to walk of the job. Teacher and NZEI negotiator Liam Rutherford spoke to Corin Dann.

Students cycle through several academic and developmental transitions in their K-12 journey.  Effective teachers know that we have to prioritize supporting them through these transitions, particularly academically.  We have to build academic soft skills, be intentional about bridging gaps, give clear feedback based on mastery, and set clear expectations.  We can't  simply say "the best of luck" or set up false impressions of academic performance.  These things can cause significant damage to students in high school.

Schools across the country will today try and tackle the backlog of work that built up as a result of the strike action by school secretaries and caretakers that lasted for over a week. The striking workers had been picketing schools, demanding access to public sector pensions and other entitlements. The Minister for Education Helen McEntee welcomed Forsa's agreement to suspend strike action last Friday night, to allow for talks at the Workplace relations commission. The Union representing school secretaries and caretakers says the key element of the agreement is a Government commitment to negotiate comparable pension entitlements for their members. Alan Morrissey was joined by Rena McGrath, Vice-Chair of Fórsa School Secretaries Branch on the Clare/Galway border and Bernie Dillon, who's been Secretary at St Senan's Primary School in Kilrush for over twenty years.

One school principal is not phased by mistakes being found in a Ministry maths resource book. 18 errors have been found and fixed - including incorrect sums and a Te Reo Māori typo. Auckland Primary Principals' Association President Lucy Naylor says it's not ideal, but the resources only make up about five percent of what's taught. She points out they didn't cost schools. "Given the maths resources have been given free to schools by the Government, it kind of outweighs the errors." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Primary and secondary school students are looking at plenty of disruption, with over 2,000 secretaries and caretakers preparing for an indefinite strike once the summer break is over. Fórsa, which represents more than 2,300 school secretaries working in primary and secondary schools, as well as 500 school caretakers, told the Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth the mandate for indefinite strike action comes after the union's efforts to secure access for school secretaries to the Single Public Service Pension Scheme. Fórsa's Head of Education Andy Pike said school secretaries and caretakers remain excluded from the scheme, despite being on the Department of Education's centralized payroll since 2023. There are concerns that the strike, which is due to get underway on the 28th of August, could affect schools' opening hours. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Bernie Dillon, Secretary at St Senan's Primary School in Kilrush and Rena McGrath, Vice-chairperson and Treasurer of Fórsa School Secretaries Branch on the Clare/Galway border.
