A group of Waikato student leaders have written to the Ministry of Education calling for an immediate halt to industrial action that has seen them miss hours of learning.
The Post Primary Teachers union and the Ministry of Education are locked in a bitter pay dispute and in the meantime union members are refusing to teach two year levels per day, four days a week until the end of term.
And if its not settled soon, some classes could be out for term three too.More than 35 Waikato student leaders signed the letter, and they say others around the country offered their support today too.
The students support the teachers' pay claim, but they feel stressed, are struggling to catch up the work and say they may not make NCEA deadlines.
Year 13 student and spokesperson Anna Jago is the deputy head girl at Cambridge High School, and spoke to Lisa Owen.
