Teachers are expected to go on strike on different dates depending on the region:

  • In Alberta, the Alberta Teachers' Association announced a strike for October 6, 2025, if a negotiated settlement is not reached by then. The strike notice was given to avoid uncertainty for families, and the strike is related to demands for proper funding, better wages, and classroom supports.
  • In England, the National Education Union (NEU) is considering strike action in response to a 2.8% pay offer for the 2025-26 academic year. No strikes are currently planned, but if a ballot happens, strike action could occur in the autumn term at the earliest.
  • In New Zealand, partial strikes by secondary school teachers are scheduled for September 15 to 18, 2025, with a full strike having already taken place on August 20, 2025. Primary school teachers plan a full-day strike on October 23, 2025, due to pay disputes.

To summarize, the next confirmed strike date is mostly October 6, 2025, for Alberta teachers, with other regions having either scheduled strikes or potential strikes later in 2025.
