A senior union figure has warned that unresolved disputes over teachers' workloads risk harming pupils' education, urging the education minister to reach a swift agreement before the situation worsens. The concern follows ongoing tensions between educators and officials over working conditions, with fears that prolonged negotiations could lead to disruptions in classrooms. The call comes as teachers highlight growing pressures in their roles, emphasizing the need for a balanced resolution to protect both their well-being and student learning. With no immediate signs of a breakthrough, the warning signals potential consequences for schools if no compromise is found.
