Teachers Suspend Selves
Canberra teachers will undertake a series of rolling strikes in a bid to stop 145 chalkies being punted.
The ACT Government plans to fund a 12 per cent pay increase over three years through closing down 39 schools and job cuts in education.
The move would see one in ten secondary school teachers booted.
"We haven't seen cuts like this to education since Kennett got his comeuppance," ACT Secretary of the Australian Education Union, Clive Haggar, said.
Former Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett closed one third of public schools through the 1990s.

Teachers voted to conduct four weeks of rolling strikes across Canberra's schools.
