Disruption As Teachers Strike.
November 21, 2007 04:00am

HUNDREDS of thousands of Victorian students, including some sitting their final Year 12 exams, will face disruptions and possible school closures as teachers strike over a pay dispute.

Victorian teachers are expected to stop work today in their push for a 10 per cent annual pay rise and a reduction in contract employment.

The State Government has offered teachers a 3.25 per cent annual rise, in line with its public sector wages policy.

No Victorian schools should close because of planned action, Premier John Brumby said.

"There shouldn't be any schools closed, if students turn up at a school, teachers are required to teach them," Mr Brumby said.

"The reality is most schools will be open ..."

Mr Brumby said he was "disappointed" the Australian Education Union's (AEU) Victorian branch had arranged the action when almost 4500 Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) students were due to sit final exams.

Victoria had the smallest class sizes in Australian primary schools and the best staff-student ratios in high schools, he said.

But Victorian Opposition education spokesman Martin Dixon lashed out at Mr Brumby's "confrontational" approach to industrial negotiations, accusing him of allowing wage talks to break down.

He called for the Government to immediately invest in state education to attract and retain teachers and improve staffing levels in classrooms.

The teachers' enterprise bargaining agreement expired in August.

More strikes are planned for February 14, with rolling stoppages to occur throughout the first term of next year.
