Overview
- Queensland state school teachers will stage a 24-hour walkout on November 25, their second such strike this year.
- The Queensland Teachers’ Union confirmed rallies and demonstrations across Brisbane and major regional centres.
- The government says schools will stay open with student supervision and maintains its three-year 8% pay offer.
- Union demands include limiting what goes to arbitration, securing a 3% increase in 2026, and protecting class size caps and non-contact time.
- The strike date was chosen to avoid Year 12 external exams, with formal arbitration set to begin automatically on December 31, ending protected action.
