The NSW Department of Education is working to minimise the impact of tomorrow’s teacher strike on students’ learning and wellbeing, while also supporting essential workers.

The majority of schools across the state will remain open with supervision for students, and parents have been told if their school will not be open. Those students will have access to learning from home material.

Education Secretary Georgina Harrisson said she understood the frustration of families, and the industrial action capped off a difficult year for many parents and carers.
