A teachers’ strike planned for the first day of school term in South Australia (SA) has been postponed after negotiations between that state’s government and the Australian Education Union (AEU).

This comes after almost two-thirds of the AEU’s school and preschool teacher members supported industrial action via a full day stoppage on Feb. 2 if COVID-19 safety concerns were not addressed.
