A potential wave of teacher strikes is looming in England as educators prepare to vote on industrial action over pay. The decision comes as the government faces mounting pressure to address the country's teacher shortage crisis, with many schools struggling to fill vacancies. The vote, which is expected to be a significant step towards a nationwide strike, is a response to the government's decision to cap teacher pay rises at 5% this year. If the strike goes ahead, it could have a major impact on the education system, with thousands of students potentially affected by school closures.
