Public sector workers, including teachers, have walked out in a coordinated strike, prompting widespread school closures across the country. The action follows months of negotiations over pay and working conditions, with unions insisting on significant improvements before returning to the workplace. Parents and students are left scrambling as alternative childcare arrangements are sought amid the disruption. Authorities are urging affected families to check local updates for further guidance on affected services.
