More than 20,000 secondary school teachers participated in a nationwide strike today. The industrial action occurred between 1.15pm and 3.15pm during the second day of NCEA and scholarship exams. The Post Primary Teachers' Association hopes the strike will encourage a better pay offer from the government.
