Victoria's embattled teachers are on the cusp of a potentially crippling third strike, as a revised offer from the state government is set to be put to a vote. The offer, which has been negotiated in an attempt to avert the strike, is expected to address key concerns around pay and workload, but it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to sway the state's 50,000 teachers. The Australian Education Union (AEU) has been at odds with the government over issues including teacher shortages, rising workloads, and stagnant pay, with the union threatening to take further industrial action if its demands are not met. As the deadline for the strike looms, teachers and parents alike are holding their breath, wondering whether the revised offer will be enough to avoid a third strike in just over a year.
