Year 10 students across New Zealand can forget their day off tomorrow, as the planned Post Primary Teachers' Association (PPTA) strike has been cancelled.
The "rostering-home" strike was expected to affect a year group every Tuesday. PPTA members planned to refuse to teach a specific year group each week, which would be asked to stay home that day.
Western Bay of Plenty PPTA chairwoman Rebecca Holmes confirmed the year 10 strike action was cancelled for tomorrow but was not ruling out the rest of the planned strike days yet.
Holmes said the cancellation came after talks on Thursday with the Ministry of Education and union presidents.
The decision to cancel was "a sign of good faith to continue negotiations with the Government", she said.
