Teachers' strike could shut 1000 schools

reminds me of this story

Belgium is heading for a record 150 days with no government

Belgium was able to function perfectly well without its government. Given this sentence:

Schools in the urban heartlands of the National Union of Teachers will be particularly affected

perhaps I'd not be entirely flippant in suggesting that pupils might even be better off?
