Britain's largest teaching union is preparing what it describes as its most disruptive school walkouts to date, with action planned for the period following Christmas that could affect exam preparation and leave parents scrambling for childcare.The National Education Union has been galvanised by Labour's reforms to industrial action rules, including the introduction of online voting and the removal of minimum turnout requirements for strike ballots.Daniel Kebede, the NEU's general secretary, defended the planned nationwide action as essential to "save education" and prevent "schools running on empty".However, critics within the education sector, including former union representatives, have characterised the planned strikes as evidence of a "Marxist agenda" that prioritises confrontation over teachers' genuine interests.
