Thousands of schools will shut on Wednesday as a mass walkout threatens to grind Britain to a halt.

Teachers who are members of the National Education Union are walking out in the first of seven strikes planned across England and Wales.

They are demanding a better pay rise than the 5% offered by the Department for Education and want something aboe the rate of inflation.

The union estimates that about 85% of schools will be shut because of the strikes. Teachers will be among 500,000 workers including civil servants and train drivers to walk out.
