76% of primary schools and 94% of secondary schools will not be able to afford their costs next year.

National Education Union non-academised sixth form college teachers have announced further strike action in their ongoing dispute with the Secretary of State for Education

NEU Cymru will ballot members for strike action as the new Ysgol Robert Owen £22m school in Powys faces massive cuts.
