Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.
So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!

History of Classical Chinese language and it's plight in modern Chinese world
For several millennia, until the 1920s, Classical Chinese (also called Literary Chinese) was the sole accepted language of written communication throughout North Asia. It was the language of government and authority, but it was also the language of the great Chinese thinkers and poets.
Classical Chinese was, in other words, the language in which the foundations of the world’s longest continuous civilisation were first articulated.
This talk, the third event in celebration of Chinese Language Week, will consider aspects of the history of this language and its plight in the modern Chinese world.
About the speaker
Duncan Campbell has taught Chinese language, literature, and aspects of Chinese history at universities in New Zealand and Australia.
Between 2015-16, he was the Curator of the Chinese Garden at the Huntington Library, USA. His research concentrates on the literary and material culture of late imperial China
